City will complete a historic domestic treble if they beat Watford this weekend.Barnes, who played for Watford for six years from 1981, speaking on behalf of BT Sport, said: It depends how you approach the game.Look at what Leicester did, they allowed City to have the ball and defend with 11 men and then hoped to catch them on the break or from set-pieces.Watford should look at that and maybe say thats how well approach the game.

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.Getty2
