Team News

Man Utd
Watford
  • Ralf Rangnick will make multiple changes from the side that battled to a 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
  • Anthony Elanga will start against Watford after scoring the equaliser in Spain, while Alex Telles and Diogo Dalot will also come into the side.
  • Victor Lindelof and Raphael Varane both started alongside Harry Maguire against Atletico but one will drop out here.
  • Rangnick doesn't have Scott McTominay back for Saturday due to illness so Nemanja Matic may start after coming off the bench in midweek.
  • A lack of options up front may force Rangnick to start Cristiano Ronaldo against Watford.
  • Roy Hodgson will certainly ponder changes after Watford lost 4-1 at home to Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
  • Joshua King has trained as normal this week despite coming off injured in midweek and Hodgson also has Joao Pedro and Juraj Kucka back available this weekend.
  • Ben Foster and Tom Cleverley are also former United players that will hope to start at Old Trafford.

Prediction

  • Manchester United will certainly feel better about themselves after somehow rescuing a draw away to Atletico Madrid in midweek. Now they have to turn their attentions to keeping their grip of fourth place in the Premier League against a team that beat them 4-1 in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's final game in charge of United.
  • Roy Hodgson's arrival at Watford simply hasn't worked out so far. They have only won one of his five matches in charge and on Wednesday they suffered a damaging 4-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace. Things were looking promising for Watford when they last played United back in November. However, since beating them 4-1 they have lost 11 of their 14 matches in all competitions.
  • United have won eight in a row at home to Watford and have kept clean sheets in six of those matches. Surely they can't make a mess of this fixture, can they?

  • I am a fan of Man United and the Lakers......I'm soooo miffed, miffed I say, very very miffed....Please start the Premier league and NBA seasons again now, or I will cry.

  • loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

  • I'm starting to get the feeling that Egonaldo really is nothing without goals and those aren't just trolls.

  • Looks from the stats like a classic Hodgson rearguard, 7s all over the place from the midfield backwards.

  • Lol

  • Bissaka rated 8.0?! He is the useless one in all games.

  • @brucelian I think he exposes the flaw of the Tackles stat, because it seems a lot of the time he's only making the tackle because he's out of position. He is a great tackler though.

  • Nobody will talk about why Fernandes didn't pass to Ronaldo at 12th min when he was totally free, United had more shots blocked by own teammates than Watford shot on target.

  • Rangnick is a lot worse than Ole.

  • @Rensen Worst of what? What can he do if the players waste such easy chances!

  • @Rensen No, he is not. Nobody could be that bad.

  • @Rensen the team is playing better as a whole but we're no longer converting chances which distorts our view of the teram

  • Who is gonna save United today ?

  • United have been a joke so far.

  • Probably 1-1

  • Dennis hattrick

  • @Chilly_B United never lost a league game at Old Trafford against Watford, good luck with that.

  • @Byakuya ok

  • @Chilly_B Even worst player on the pitch who started for United had a better game than Dennis, wasn't even close to a goal.

  • @Byakuya eh ok? Lol

  • @Chilly_B Yeah OK, because you didn't put any money on your "prediction" and just was talking trash as usual.

  • @Byakuya alright mate no need to cry

  • @Chilly_B You're the one who were crying about why users were "attacking" to you over your useless comments, then coming again because you're a clown.

  • BTTS

  • @tutekthetut WRONG!
