Team news, key stats and ways to follow ahead of Man Utd vs Watford on Sunday (UTC 2pm kick-off).
Team news
Scott McTominay could make his comeback from injury when Manchester United host Watford on Sunday, according to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Mason Greenwood may not have recovered from the illness which forced him to miss Thursday's draw with Club Brugge, meaning there could be a full debut for Odion Ighalo against his former club. Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford remain sidelined.
Watford defender Kiko Femenia may return after missing the last seven games, while there is an outside chance Ismaila Sarr, who was forced off against Tottenham last month and has not played since, could also feature.
Opta stats
Manchester United have won all six of their Premier League games against Watford at Old Trafford, scoring 14 goals and conceding just two.
Watford have never won an away league match against Man Utd in 12 attempts (D2 L10), losing each of their last eight in a row after last avoiding defeat in November 1985 in a 1-1 draw.
In their entire league history, the only team Manchester United have faced more often at home without losing than Watford (12 games) is Hull City (13 games).
Manchester United have failed to score in their last two Premier League home games (0-2 v Burnley, 0-0 v Wolves). They last went three without a goal at Old Trafford in May 2002.
After a six-game unbeaten run under Nigel Pearson (W4 D2), Watford have lost two of their last three Premier League games (D1).
Manchester United have kept back-to-back clean sheets in the Premier League, last recording three in a row almost a year ago to the day (February 24th 2019).
Charlie's prediction
It is another unpredictable scenario for Manchester United. I thought they were ordinary again in Bruges. Anthony Martial got another goal. What is the formation going to be this weekend? It is a weird thing to navigate and pick apart.
On any given day, it is usually a banker, but because of how Manchester United are now, you cannot guarantee anything. Watford are battling for their lives and they will scrap away and be a handful if they can get going.
With a Watford win potentially lifting them out of this hole, I do not see a lot in this one. I'm finding it hard to make a strong case for Manchester United but with Martial back in the goals, I will opt for a narrow home win, although I wouldn't be surprised by a draw.
CHARLIE PREDICT: Man Utd 2-1 Watford

We need to win so that we can benefit from our previous win against Chelsea en Tottenham's last lose to Chelsea. The problem is that i don't really know what comes to our player's mind when we are playing against those so called small teams. i just dont know🤒

Greenwood instead of James, James is becoming tired and he needs rest.

Lets go for the kill, Martial is better when coming from the left not as center forward, and prefer one DM unlike two coz we already have a solid back for so lets push Fred upfront to help Bruno in unlocking the defensive walls of Watford coz they will sick back and defend thats where we also struggle... So i go for two attacking mid and Martial on the left so that Ighalo can have a full debut. However, if we go for the usuall formation Martial should still be on the left... Your take

If we can't win against Watford the win against Chelsea will mean nothing.But I think we are going to win this one.Surely their can't have more excuses we are playing at home after all.

Here we go again, Will ManU beat Watford. I think no matter what we think is that we have to win to stay in the running, no ifs and butts it’s a got to be. The talk is that Pogba May stay if Solskjaer goes, this is stupid thinking because Pogba has got to play if he stays without excuses and Solskjaer must stay because he is not to blame for ManU bad play other than saving players again in the Europa League, Solskjaer must realise that the more they play the better they get used to each other which I think is the key to winning regular. I look forward to Rashford coming back very soon before he starts to get bored but then I heard it said that Solskjaer was going to bring him in slowly. ManU wrap there players up in cotton wool instead of pushing them forward with lots of confidence so I say let’s put all our new and good players to work against Watford and we will surely win. Good Luck ManU and get brave Solskjaer so we.can win.
