Manchester City will need to win their first Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium since September if they are to keep in touch with their title rivals over the Christmas period.
City are seven points behind leaders Chelsea following back-to-back league defeats and they welcome Watford next up.
Pep Guardiola's side have been heavily criticised following their often shambolic performance against Leicester City at the weekend but they have an opportunity to put a more positive spin on their recent results by dominating a home game and picking up three points.
The Blues created more than enough chances to have beaten Everton, Middlesbrough, Chelsea and, to a lesser extent, Southampton, but they have taken just three points from a possible 12.
