Watford v Man City Premier League match preview

We’ve got four Premier League fixtures in store tonight as the hectic Christmas programme cranks into life.

Manchester City return to action as they take on Watford while Brighton and Crystal Palace go head to head on the south coast.

Elsewhere, Bournemouth host Huddersfield while West Ham welcome Cardiff to the London Stadium.

Follow all the action and updates below:

Bournemouth vs Huddersfield

There has been plenty of goals in previous fixtures between the two teams. Bournemouth won 4-0 last November with Callum Wilson scoring a hat-trick.

Huddersfield then bagged 4 in the return fixture in February a the Terriers triumphed 4-1.

Even when these team competed in the Championship there were goals galore as Huddersfield won 5-1 in August 2013, James Vaughan scored a hat-trick on that day.

And on the first day of the 2014-15 season Eddie Howe's side romped to a 4-0 away win.

So based on the evidence we could be in a a spectacle at the Vitality Stadium.

West Ham vs Cardiff

Things don't look too good for Cardiff tonight. Although they come into the match on the back of a win on Friday night their manager, Neil Warnock, hasn't won in 12 visits to London in the Premier League, losing 10 and drawing 2.
