It’s a big game for…

Kelechi Iheanacho: The young Nigerian finally has the chance to show Pep Guardiola what he can do while Sergio Aguero is still suspended and City will need him to fill the void in his absence. Iheanacho has five goals in 15 games and could claim more tonight against a Watford side guilty of shipping goals away from home.

Weird /best stat…

1: City have kept one clean sheet in their previous 17 games which came in a 4-0 win over West Brom in October.

Remember when…

Manchester City 4 Watford 2, FA Cup Fourth Round, January 2014

Premier League champions City were given an almighty scare after goals from Troy Deeney and Fernando Forestieri put Watford 2-0 up before half-time at the Etihad stadium. However, a second half hat-trick from Sergio Aguero saved City’s blushes and sent them into the Fifth round.

Player to watch…

Troy Deeney: The Watford captain and strike partner Stefano Okaka will be a big physical threat to City’s back four who continue to look shaky as the season goes on. Deeney has the added incentive of scoring his 100^th goal for Watford after being stuck on 99 since early October.

73 mins: GOAL! TOTTENHAM 3 HULL 0:

Three goals and three points for Tottenham at White Hart Lane! Chasing a hat-trick, Christian Eriksen had his free-kick tipped on to the post by David Marshall, but there was goal machine Victor Wanyama to convert the rebound.

78 mins: GOAL! WEST BROM 3 SWANSEA 1:

The very definition of a consolation goal as Wayne Routledge nets for Swansea at the Hawthorns. The winger was on hand to convert from close range after substitute Borja had seen his shot blocked by Ben Foster. It's not worth celebrating and, to be fair, to the Swansea players and supporters, they didn't.

88 mins: GOAL! CRYSTAL PALACE 1 MANCHESTER UNITED 2:

Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the rescue! You just cannot keep the Swede out of the headlines for long! Paul Pogba left Yohan Cabaye on his backside with a sharp turn inside the Crystal Palace half, and then slid a ball behind Scott Dann. Rushing on to, Ibrahimovic kept his cool - naturally - and slid a fine shot beyond Wayne Hennessey from an acute angle on the left. The winner? Surely.

86 mins: GOAL! MANCHESTER CITY 2 WATFORD 0:

David Silva alleviates Manchester City concerns, and Pep Guardiola's men bounce back after the weekend's horrorshow. The Spaniard swept home to seal the points after good work from Raheem Sterling.
