Mark Silva started his career at Watford great - the team did not lose in 4 games. The "hornets" have 8 out of 12 possible points, which is a very solid result for this club. In addition, one of the draws happened in a duel against Liverpool and, given the circumstances of the match, was akin to victory.

To match against the "townspeople" Watford fits with serious problems in the defense. Miguel Britos sits his three-legged disqualification, and Younes Kabul, Craig Cathcart and Sebastian Prodl are not ready to play. For a place next to Christian Cabacelles will argue Molla Vog and Adrian Mariappa.

The problems of the "hornets" in defense should take full advantage of the attack of the City, which over the past week has sent 9 goals to the gates of Liverpool and Feyenoord. The only chance for Watford could be called the fatigue of the "townspeople" after the Champions League, but firstly, the Guardiola team has enough depth of composition to virtually painlessly replace tired players, and secondly, it is unlikely that the fight with Feyenoord took too much energy.

Returned to training captain Man City Vincent Company. However, given the susceptibility of the Belgian injuries, it is unlikely that Josep Guardiola immediately throws him into battle.

Interesting Facts:.

- Watford never beat Man City in the Premier League (H2 P4).

- For the first time in its history, the "hornets" do not know the defeats in the first 4 matches of the top division.

- Sergio Aguero scored 6 goals and made an assistant in the previous 4 matches against Watford in all tournaments.

The trainers say:.

Mark Silva, Watford: "We are tuning to win every match. I am very pleased with our start and especially - the last one at the moment, a fight against Southampton ".

Josep Guardiola, Manchester City "This game will require a lot of effort from us. Moreover, we play only 3 days after the previous match. But we must manage ".
