Man Utd have won 8 drawn 5 and lost 1 of their 14 home league games played, and sit 5th in the Premiership with 58 points, losing their last league game played 2-0 away against Arsenal. Watford have won 5 drawn 5 and lost 6 of their 16 league away games played, and sit 8th in the Premiership with 43 points losing their last league game played 3-1 away against Man City. Man Utd have already beaten Watford 1-2 away this season, and did the double over them last season 2-4 and 1-0 this fixture. Watford have lost their last 2 league away game played against Man City and 5-0 against Liverpool. Man Utd have only lost once at home this season and have gone their last 12 home league games played unbeaten, beating Southampton 3-2 in their last league home game played. I am taking Man Utd to take all 3 points from this game today.
Under the leadership of Ole Gunnar Solskjær this United side rarely loses out on a 3 points and seems to motivate this extremely talented team to provide strong performances week in week out. In recent weeks they have had to deal with many injuries, and since have started to implement Lukaku back as a centre piece to this squad and they having a large amount of success. When looking at Watford, they seem to concede large amounts of goals against the top 5 teams, and I do not expect them to be able to stop the likes of Lukaku or Pogba from forcing their way through their defence.
As good as Watford's season has been, they've not put up any real challenge to the top six this season with zero points from four matches away from home this season and 3 points in nine matches overall. Man United are well in the hunt for a top four place and I can't see them surrendering any points here so I'm backing a home win. Manchester United must win this game and i think that at home they will not have give Watford any change and they will take easy win here.
Manchester United return to Premier League action and need to win this game. They have lost their last two games with a defeat at Arsenal in the Premier League followed by a loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup. They are currently fifth in the Premier League but only two points outside of the top four and that Champions League qualification place. They are undefeated in their last 12 league games, not losing since August. Two of the last three league games at Old Trafford have ended in draws and they can't afford to drop more points this weekend. Watford have an appalling record against Manchester United with the last 16 games against them ending in one win and 15 defeats. They are eighth in the league and only a point behind Wolves in seventh. A Europa League place next season is still possible if they could finish seventh or win the FA Cup. It's possible their minds may be on the upcoming semi-final against Wolves and they regularly struggle when playing the top sides away from home. That's illustrated by recent losses away at Liverpool and Manchester City conceding eight goals. Go for Manchester United to get the win here.
