Watford team are aware that now is far more difficult task
given that the guests from Manchester occupy at the moment the
second place in the table and every point is very important in the race
for the top. Manchester United come to Watford after three
consecutive defeats away, which is a chance for coach Silva players
especially, as in two previous rounds, won West Ham at home 2-0 and
Newcastle away 3-0 last weekend.
Player, Troy Deeney, is present for this after serving a three-game ban while,
Miguel Britos and Kiko Femenia, are both doubts for this game. Coach, Marvin
Zeegelaar's probable lineups, may keep Jose Holebas out, with in-form Will Hughes
also expected to retain his starting berth in midfield alongside
Aboulaye Doucourè and Roberto Pereyra. In the up front, striker Andrè Gray should
continue to lead the line, with Richarlison tucked behind him. In
defense, Sebastian Prodl, Christian Kabasele and Adrian Mariappa are expected to defend Heurelho Gomes' posts. While player: Younes Kaboul, Craig Cathcart,
Tommie Hoban, Isaac Success, and Nathaniel Chalobah are all remaining
injured.
The guests from Manchester made a good record of 10 wins out of 10 at Old
Trafford on Saturday with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Brighton. A win is a win though, and it
kept Manchester Uinted in the second place in the Premier League table. Anyway, the team have
tasted defeat in three of their last four road trips in all
competitions, including their last two Premier League away matches at
Huddersfield and Chelsea as well as an UEFA Champions League clash in Basel, Switzerland.
The Red Devils have won 9 of their last 10 games against Watford in
all competitions but lost by 3-1 in this corresponding fixture last
season. Centre-backs, Eric Bailly and Phil Jones, are still
doubtful of attending this match, which means that coach, Josè Mourinho, could play with a three main
backline formed by players: Marcos Rojo, Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof. Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind are likely to start as wing
backs of the 3-5-1-1 system, meaning that Ashley Young and Antonio
Valencia will stay on the bench. Coach, Mourinho,may make major changes up front, where
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are likely to be rested, allowing
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Juan Mata or Zlatan Ibrahimovic to support a
struggling Romelu Lukaku in attack. Ander Herrera, Pual
Pogba and Marouane Fellaini are expected to start in the middle of the match, with player, Nemanja Matic, as further option.
