Watford FC news: Former Liverpool starlet Jerome Sinclair set for first start against Manchester City

Jerome Sinclair is set to make his first start for Watford tonight against Manchester City on Wednesday night.

The 20-year-old left Liverpool to move to Vicarage Road in the summer in search of more first team opportunities.

But he has only made one appearance so far - a brief substitute appearance against West Brom earlier in December.

However, the forward is now set to be given his chance to make an impact from the start against City at the Etihad.

Watford boss Walter Mazzarri wants to take advantage of City's defensive failings and believes pacy Sinclair could cause them problems.
