The last two times Manchester City have visited this ground, they have not only won, but in emphatic fashion.
City beat the Hornets 5-0 in May of last year – 4 months later, they recorded a 6-0 victory with Sergio Aguero netting 5 times.
This game should be much harder for the unbeaten Premier League leaders however Watford have conceded 5 goals and scored none in their last 2 Premier League games making this a formidable task.
Javi Garcia has done a good job at the helm at Vicarage Road this season.
The Spaniard has turned Watford into one of the division’s more impressive outfits, but they have suffered a slump in form recently.
When they play at home, the Hornets seem to go for all of the points on offer or nothing.
Watford haven’t drawn any home game this season, winning 4 and losing 3 of their 7 at Vicarage Road so far.
Manchester City have been solid away from home this season. The Cityzens have only conceded one goal away from home this season and they are heavy favourites with oddsmakers to get all three points yet again in this game.
Goal markets point to a high-scoring affair while Sergio Aguero is bookmakers favourite to bag the first goal.
