Watford vs Man City
Venue: Vicarage Road
Kick off: 3pm
Manchester City head to fellow unbeaten side Watford on Saturday (today), aiming to maintain their impressive form that has seen them win by an aggregate 9-0 scoreline in their last two matches.
The Hornets have also made a positive start to the campaign, but they have yet to pick up maximum points on home soil and have not prevailed at Vicarage Road since mid-April.
Watford’s away form is perfect so far, picking up wins at Bournemouth and most recently Southampton on the South Coast – just the second time in their Premier League history that they have achieved that feat – but at home they have taken two points from six on offer.
Man City however have started the season brightly and look good value to add some silverware to their collection come next May.
A blip against Everton aside, the Citizens have overcome Brighton & Hove Albion and Bournemouth away from home, while also thrashing Liverpool in their most recent outing at the Etihad Stadium.
That five-goal victory over the Reds may largely have been down to the red card shown to Sadio Mane, and Liverpool’s subsequent refusal to sit back a little, but Pep Guardiola’s men did exactly what they had to to put a direct rival to the sword.
The margin of victory was not quite enough to lift City above neighbours Manchester United to the top of the pile come the end of matchday four, though as things stand they look a real force and will likely hammer many more opponents between now and the season’s end.
Watford possible XI: Gomes, Femenia, Mariappa, Kabasele, Holebas, Doucoure, Chalobah, Carrillo, Cleverly, Richarlison, Gray.
Manchester City XI: Ederson, Stones, Otamendi, Danilo, Walker, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Silva, Mendy, Jesus, Aguero.
