Watford vs Man City - how to watch and what are the odds & best bets?

City have pride to play for, Watford have their Premier League future on the line.

Will the size of the prizes on offer make a difference in tonight's Vicarage Road showdown? It's televised live on Sky Sports Main Event (with crowd noise) and Sky Sports Premier League (without crowd noise) from 5.30pm.

We asked City expert Joe Bray for his thoughts on the clash which kicks-off at 6pm.

Win, lose or draw?

Surely City will have something to prove after the Arsenal defeat? Pep Guardiola will make changes to ensure his team is fresh and couple that, with Watford's strange managerial change, and I think City will have too much for Watford and record a win. Despite Saturday night's disappointment they're still short to do that at 1/3 with thepools.com , the country's oldest established football betting platform. But check out the  final paraghraph below.

Who’s a good bet for 1st scorer?

There will be plenty of rotation, but surely Phil Foden will return to the starting XI after being benched at Wembley. With Gabriel Jesus probably in line for a rest, the attacking responsibilities will fall to players like Foden and he often starts games well. Odds of 11/2 to score the first goal and 6/4 to score at any time both appeal.

Who’s on pens?

If Kevin De Bruyne plays, he'll be on penalties. With De Bruyne still chasing the Premier League assists record in the final two games, he should get the chance to play. He's 6/1 first scorer and 9/5 to score at any time .

Will City keep a clean sheet?

City should win, but their defence has been prone to at least one mistake in recent games and Watford will be fighting for their lives. Don't count on a clean sheet. City to win but Both Teams To Score is a much more tempting 8/5 with thepools.com .
