Manchester United v Watford: match preview

Manchester United v Watford
Manchester United v Watford: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Manchester United are unbeaten in 10 games in all competitions, Watford have only one victory in all competitions since November. Yet the reverse fixture was Watford’s 4-1 win under Claudio Ranieri that resulted in Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s sacking and the hiring of Ralf Rangnick as interim manager. Watford now also have a new coach – Roy Hodgson – and in the fight against relegation, he would dearly love to complete his team’s home-and-away double over United. Jamie Jackson
