Watford v Manchester City: match preview

Watford v Manchester City
Watford v Manchester City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Manchester City need a point against Watford to ensure Champions League football next season and it would be a disaster if events somehow conspired against Pep Guardiola’s side. Recent results have been awful for Watford with the club on for their longest losing streak in 44 years if they fall to City. Walter Mazzarri’s farewell could be brief after never really ingratiating himself with fans. Graham Searles
