The Citizens have not had the best start of the season, but facing the last-placed team in the Premier League should give them a confidence boost.

What is Man City and Watford's form ahead of this match?

Manchester City has won three out of their last four games in all comps, but that loss against Norwich was something no one expected. Guardiola's men will make it back to England after securing their first three points in the UEFA Champions League thanks to a 3-0 win against Shakhtar.

Watford kicked off the season with three straight losses, but things have improved for Quique Sánchez Flores due to their League Cup win against Coventry and their consecutive draws against Newcastle (1-1) and Arsenal (2-2). The Hornets are looking to keep their first clean sheet in Premier League games this season.

What is Man City and Watford's position in the English Premier League?

The Citizens are currently second in the Premier League thanks to their three wins, one draw and one loss. This is not the best start of the season for Guardiola's men, but they have managed to score more goals (16) than any other EPL side this season, topping the tally achieved by Liverpool (15) and Tottenham (11).

Watford makes it to this game in last place of the Premier League, with only two points to show for after five games. The Hornets are, as of now, the worst attack in the English top-flight, with only four goals to their name.

Manchester City vs Watford - Who's in and who's out?

Manchester City could be forced to face Watford without four players. Leroy Sané, Aymeric Laporte and John Stones are long-term absences for Guardiola, whiler Phil Foden may join that list after missing their UCL debut this season due to illness.

Watford will have two absences for them, but one of them may be crucial to the outcome of the game. Troy Deeney will sit this one out due to injury, and he will be joined on the sidelines by Craig Cathcart, leaving Craig Dawson and Christian Kabasele as the main options at center back.
