The game kicks off at 6pm (UK), when Watford host Manchester City on Tuesday 21 July, at the Vicarage Road.
Watford missed the opportunity to widen the gap between them and other teams fighting the relegation, namely, Bournemouth and Aston Villa, with their loss against West Ham on Friday (3:1). They are now only three points above those two teams, and have a daunting task in front of them, because the last two fixtures see them welcoming Manchester City and travelling to London to face Arsenal, the FA Cup finalists. It will be a very close finish between the three teams, with all of them keen on not giving up until the very end.
Manchester City were delighted to hear on Monday that their two-year ban from the Champions League was suspended by the UEFA, meaning they will be in the competition next season. They may have celebrated a little too much, as they went out at Wembley, lacking the battling spirit to put up a fight against Arsenal in the first FA Cup semi-final on Saturday. City were deservedly beaten (2:0), and with the Champions League' round of 16 set to resume, they now turn their heads to the one trophy that is still eluding them.
WATFORD VS MANCHESTER CITY MATCH ANALYSIS
The result against West Ham was a huge blow for Watford and their hopes to survive in the top divison. Before the game, the Hornets were in a fine form, after pickin up back-to-back wins against Norwich and Newcastle, but all the good work they did in those two games was annulled by a terrible display in the first half against the Hammers, in wich they were three goals behind after 36 minutes.
The Hornets will be without the long-term injured Gerard Deulofeu, Daryl Janmaat and Isaac Success. They lost 7 of their last 11 Premier League games, but their form at home is decent with only one defeat in the last five home PL games (W3,D1,L1). Troy Deeney scored in back-to-back games, which is a welcome encouragement for Watford..
Mikel Arteta exposed Manchester City's flaws on Saturday, first and foremost, their defensive deficiencies. A 19-year-old teenager Eric Garcia was entrusted the defensive duties alongside Laporte, and their vulnerability against pacy Arsenal's strikers was painfully obvious. Benjamin Mendy didn't inspire confidence at left back either, which is why Pep Guardiola will certainly look to bolster their defence in summer.
City have now lost three out of their last five away matches in all competitions, and the FA Cup exit won't inspire confidence. They demolished their Tuesday's opponents, Watford, in the last season's FA Cup final (6:0), but this time, Watford may have a better go at them. With two games to go, they can add more salt to City's wounds, and pick the vital points in their pursuit of safety.

Nigel Pearson's men will try to do what they do best - be aggressive,win the aerial duels, take a lot of shots and prey for the best. They can't rely on other teams loosing points, so in the next two games they must get at least one good result.
For City,the game against Watford will be a chance for them to pick their heads up, after exiting the FA Cup. Pep Guardiola will demand a much improved performance, as they have to focus on the upcoming second leg game against Real Madrid. This game will surely be a chance to raise their game and try out a few tactical tweaks.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
