Team news & rosters
| Position | Man City roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Steffen, Ederson, Carson, Slicker |
| Defenders | Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake, Laporte, Cancelo, Egan-Riley, Mbete, Wilson-Esbrand |
| Midfielders | Gundogan, Zinchenko, Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva, Fernandinho, Foden, Palmer, McAtee, Lavia |

The hopes of a treble are over for Manchester City now, but the dream of a Premier League and Champions League double remains thrillingly alive.
Pep Guardiola's rotation seems to be doing the trick, and even if they took longer than expected to break down Brighton last time out, they still look a cut ahead of their rivals - bar one.
Predicted Man City starting XI: Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko; Gundogan, Fernandinho, De Bruyne; Grealish, Sterling, Jesus.
| Position | Watford roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Foster, Bachmann, Elliot, Angelini |
| Defenders | Ngakia, Rose, Troost-Ekong, King, Masina, Nkoulou, Kamara, Cathcart, Femenia, Samir, Kabasele, Sierralta, Morris |
| Midfielders | Etebo, Louza, Cleverley, Sema, Gosling, Sissoko, Kucka, Baah, Kayembe, Forde |
| Forwards | Pedro, Sarr, Dennis, Kalu, Hernandez |
Any rally in the league now might be too little too late for the Hornets, who appear odds-on - with Norwich - to make the drop back to the Championship.
But Roy Hodgson will not go down without a fight, and the former England boss will expect his players to give everything in pursuit of three points.
Predicted Watford starting XI: Foster; Femenia, Kabasele, Samir, Kamara; Sissoko, Louza, Lucka; Dennis, Pedro, Sarr.
