Pep Guardiola's men will try to win their second trophy of the season when they clash against Watford this weekend.

What is Manchester City and Watford's form ahead of this game?

Manchester City makes it to their final clash of the season in spectacular form, as they have only lost two games in 2019, considering all comps. Guardiola's side has won seven consecutive gamed, including the 4-1 win against Brighton that sealed their second Premier League title in a row.

Watford has only won one of their last six games en route to this FA Cup final. In fact, the Hornets have lost three games in a row prior to Saturday's clash. During that run, Javi Gracia's men have conceded twelve times, including the four goals West Ham drilled past them in their 2018-19 Premier League season finale.

The Citizens conceded their first goal against Newport County in their fifth round matchup, but they eventually defeated the lower-tier team with a 4-1 score. Next, Guardiola's men came from behind to beat Swansea 3-2, and their semi-final match concluded with a narrow 1-0 win against Brighton.

Watford was off to a rocky start when they needed penalties to beat Blackburn Rovers. Their fourth round match was a bit easier, since they defeated Newcastle with a 2-0 score. The Hornets made it past QPR with a 1-0 win, before they eliminated Crystal Palace in the quarterfinal stage after a 2-1 win. Javi Gracia's men earned their spot in the final after beating Wolverhampton in a nerve-wrecking 3-2 clash.
