Manchester City vs Watford 23.04.2022

All eyes will be on the title race on Saturday afternoon as one slip up from Manchester City could be costly. City fans can be relieved in reading that they have never lost a league game to the Hornets, winning all their last 14 meetings with this side.

On the other hand, Watford will likely drop down to the EFL Championship after just one season in the top-flight following what has been a dismal 2021/22 campaign. The Hornets is the second best-placed of the three teams in the relegation zone but face a daunting run-in, wherein they will take on Manchester City and Chelsea.

The game on Saturday will likely go only one way. The Citizens could run riot against Watford at Etihad, just as they had in the reverse fixture in October. As a result, we fancy Man City to earn a handicap -1 win in this match.
