Watford host Manchester City at Vicarage Road on Saturday (Watch live, 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC and online via Live Extra) with the Hornets aiming to keep their good form going and put a severe dent in City’s title hopes.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side have stumbled their way through the last few months with three defeats and a draw in their last eight games, with City losing ground on Arsenal and Leicester City above them. If they want to be serious title contenders this season then they must win games like this away from home.
In team news Watford make two switches at full back with Nyom in for Anya and Holebas replacing Ake. City are unchanged from the team which drew with Leicester last time out.
