Match Prediction: Manchester City 3-0 Watford
Match Preview: The club has won six domestic league titles. Under the management of Pep Guardiola, they won the Premier League in 2018 becoming the only Premier League team to attain 100 points in a single season. In 2019, they won four trophies, completing an unprecedented sweep of all domestic trophies in England and becoming the first English men’s team to win the domestic treble. Under the management of Guardiola, they have been playing remarkable lately, in their last 10 match, they have won 9 matches and tied 1. Currently, they have played with the famous 4-3-3 formation. Manchester City is a very strong and solid team, not because of their strong forward but because they have very strong mid and defense. Quite a good number of famous players playing in the team like Gabriel Jesus, Danilo, Sergio Aguero, Sterling, David Silva, Ederson, Riyad Mahrez, Nicolas Otomendi and so on.
Watford secured promotion in 2014–15, and have competed in the Premier League since 2015–16. Watford reached the 2019 FA Cup Final. Troy Deeney and Gerard are playing in the front where the playing formation is 4-4-2. Four players in the midfield indicate that they more concern about their defense and it also helps with the forward. So, we can say that this a pretty good formation with a nice balanced team. English football player Ben Foster is protecting the goalpost for Watford for a long time with a good track record.
In the last face to face match, Manchester won the game by 6-0 against Watford, so in my opinion, this game will also go for giant Manchester City by 3-0.
