Manchester City to Win and Over 3.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Manchester City have scored 29 goals across their last six meetings with Watford, winning each of those. They’ve scored 13 times across their last two home meetings with the Hornets, while the visitors have gone off the boil after a strong start. A 4-1 loss at Norwich on Saturday points to a heavy defeat when they visit the champions.

Manchester City 5-1

Reason for tip

Manchester City have a fantastic scoring record against Watford and they should exploit a side that shipped four goals at the weekend. However, the visitors have failed to score just once this term and City have seen BTTS land in four of their last five, so back a consolation goal for the visitors in a comprehensive defeat.

Rico Lewis To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne lead the way for City in terms of expected goals, but third behind them is defender Rico Lewis. The full-back could be pushed into midfield for this clash, but they way he has attacked from right-back suggests he could be one of the most significant threats on the pitch for City with rotation likely.

Manchester City vs Watford Predictions

  • City have scored 29 times in their last six clashes with Watford
  • The Hornets were beaten 4-1 at Norwich on Saturday
  • The visitors have scored in all but one of their matches this season
  • City have seen both teams score in four of their last five

Watford set for another heavy loss

Watford made their way to the third round of the Carabao Cup thanks to a fantastic start to the season, but they’ve struggled over the last couple of weeks. The Hornets have taken one point from the last nine available, losing 4-1 at Norwich at the weekend.

The last thing Tom Cleverley’s side needs after that drubbing is a trip to the champions. City have tended to tear Watford apart in previous meetings, having scored 29 times across the previous six encounters between the pair. The Citizens infamously thumped them 6-0 in an FA Cup final, while the last two clashes at the Etihad have seen City score 13 times.

Watford have scored in all but one of their games this term so they could be good for a goal against a rotated City side. However, the hosts are still an attacking force even without their headline names.

Defender Rico Lewis is a standout anytime goalscorer pick, given he ranks third behind Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne for Expected Goals this season for City. He should feature in a City side looking to lay down a marker after tough tests against Inter Milan and Arsenal, so back Lewis to net in a high-scoring City victory.
