Watford take on the visitors Manchester City at “Vicarage Road” in the closing 38 matchday of the Premier League in the season 2016/2017. The game will be played in Watford on Sunday, May 21st.
Five-match run of defeats at the end of the season with 3:11 aggregated score cost Walter Mazzarri the head-coach's position. Despite the fact that “The Hornets” saved their place in the Premier League,
Gino Pozzo fired his country mate without waiting till the last clash of the season. In most of the national football tournaments it is common when at the finishing line four or five teams which need to achieve certain tournament tasks, start playing on loose but not Watford.

“The Citizens” have not been broken in the Premier League since the 5th of April, as they focused all their efforts on getting in the top four teams at the end of the season. Pep Guardiola’s side won its three recent matches with 10:2 aggregated score. This resulted in Manchester City’s getting up to the third place in the standings with 75 points taken and 75-39 goal difference. On the road “The Citizens” recorded 35 points earned, 38 goals for and 22 goals against in 18 encounters.
In the 21st century Manchester City haven’t lost a single head-to-head to Watford, having gained seven victories and two draws in nine clashes. Taking into consideration the rivals' competitive form as well as their motivation in the forthcoming battle, I don’t believe that “The Citizens”' unbeaten run will be broken.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win.
