Man City host Watford in must-win match after Leicester embarrassment

Given how Manchester City have been playing recently, the last thing they'll want is a visit from a battling Watford side buoyed on by summer signing Stefano Okaka, who just scored for the first time in the Premier League. Unfortunately for Pep Guardiola, that's exactly what he's got on Wednesday evening at the Etihad.

If City are not yet in crisis, then they are laying the foundations for one -- and it could be big unless something is done soon. The team have managed just five clean sheets all season and they conceded seven goals in their last two top-flight matches, all of them preventable for a competent rearguard.
