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.

Woof! What an eventful evening in the Premier League! From Zlatan's late show to Salomon's headed treble, it all happened on a topsy-turvy night of football that saw Chelsea open up a six-point lead at the top and Liverpool follow them into second. We'll back to do it all over again in a few days time, but until then, thanks for following the blog and goodnight.
