Manchester City vs Watford: EPL leader won't leave a chance for an outsider

Manchester City will face Watford at home. They meet again in the 34th round of the English Championship. Will City pick up their 15th successive win over Watford?

After losing to Liverpool and dropping out of the FA Cup (2:3), Manchester City returned to their home ground to take on Brighton in a rescheduled EPL game. The main events of this encounter happened after the break. The team left no chance for their opponents in the second half and scored three unanswered goals. Thanks to this result, City remains in the lead in the standings. With 32 appearances, the club has 77 points.

After a 2:1 away win over Southampton, Watford had a disappointing next three games in the English league. First, the Hornets lost 0:2 away to Liverpool. Then they lost 0:3 to Leeds United in the home fixtures. The previous weekend, the club had failed to hold on to a 1:2 draw against Brentford at their home ground. With 22 points, Brentford sits in penultimate place on the EPL table.

The last game against Brighton was a difficult one for Manchester City. The team failed to score in the first half and expended much energy after the break. We believe the Citizens will be more productive before the break. We suggest considering the total over corners in the first half as the main bet. Watford is going through a match crisis, and Roy Hodgson's appointment is not yet living up to expectations. We can bet on a convincing win for the EPL leaders.
