Manchester City vs Watford Prediction

There is nothing new to be said about Manchester City. They remain arguably the best team in Europe right now, and that has been the case for some time now. They are top of the league table, one point ahead of 2nd-placed Liverpool.

With rumours suggesting that Manchester City are closing in on a move to sign Norwegian superstar Erling Braut Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City will finally have the prolific goalscorer they were missing this season. It is frightening to imagine what Haaland can do in a Guardiola system.

Watford, on the other hand, are 19th in the league, and have lost four of their last five league games. They are seven points behind 17th-placed Everton, who have a game in hand. Watford have been an inconsistent outfit this season, and relegation seems likely at this point.

However, they have some interesting players who wil pique the interest of other Premier League clubs. Emmanuel Dennis, Joao Pedro and Ismaila Sarr have all done well this season.

Manchester City will be the favourites to win this game.

Prediction: Manchester City 4-0 Watford
