The one thing you would say is that its a one-off game and anything can happen. If Watford think they can come and play an open, attacking, gung-ho game, theyll lose heavily.But Watford don’t play that way anyway. They play with one up front, five in midfield and pack the defence, theyll hope Man City cant play through them.If Man City underperform, not in terms of complacency, then Watford have a chance.John Barnes made his name at Watford before sealing a move to Liverpool in 1987Getty2
