Watford welcomes champions Manchester City to Vicarage Road for the 15th game. The hosts are in 17th place with 13 points while City is in second place with 32 points. Watford could not ask for a more difficult week as they face the Premier League champions just three days after European champions Chelsea. Watford played well against Chelsea before losing 2-1. They have lost four of their last five league games and are now just three points above the relegation zone. Watford have only one home win in their last six league games and that was a 4-1 win over 10 Manchester United players. They have not beaten City at home in their last seven games and the best result at that time was a 1-1 draw in 2007.
On the other hand, Manchester City is fresh from the 2-1 away victory at Aston Villa and is now a stone's throw from the top Chelsea. Six wins in the last six matches gave them a red card at a crucial moment of the season. Their four wins in four league games are the best winning streak in the league at the moment. City are unbeaten in their last five away games in the league and have only lost one away game this season. The visitors have only lost once in the last 12 league games and that was the shock 2-0 home defeat by Crystal Palace.
Watford have had defensive difficulties all season and can expect a barrage of attacks from the Champions, so we expect a win for City and support the choice. over 2,5 goals in performance 1.50 by stoiximan.
