Watford v Manchester City: match preview

Given that Manchester City thrashed Watford 5-0 the last time they visited Vicarage Road, this match may seem a formality. In reality though, the circumstances are entirely different this time around. Currently in fourth place with three clean sheets out of four, Watford will be difficult to break down. Indeed, Marco Silva’s side will go top of the league, for a day at least, if they were to pull off a shock win. Joe Cooper
