Past record v City: Watford certainly have the ingredients to frustrate City but, on past evidence, it could be a tough day. The Hornets have lost all seven of their matches against City since they returned to the top flight in 2015, including 6-0 and 5-0 hammerings. Sergio Aguero has also scored seven times against them in that period.

Liverpool: v Burnley (home), March 10
