How to watch Man City vs Watford - TV channel, live stream and early team news

Manchester City still lead the race for the title by a point going into the final six games of the Premier League season.

They responded to Liverpool’s 4-0 drubbing of Manchester United with a comfortable 3-0 win over Brighton on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola said his team must be perfect for the rest of the campaign in order to retain the crown with any draws being catastrophic.

He will be confident that his team can gain maximum points over Watford, who languish firmly in the relegation zone some seven points from safety having lost their last three outings. A win will see City temporarily extend their lead to four points ahead of Liverpool’s Merseyside derby with Everton on Sunday.
