Fixture: Watford vs Manchester City
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 20:00 (UK time)

Manchester City have revealed their starting team and substitutes to take on Watford in a Premier League fixture this evening at Vicarage Road.

Pep Guardiola's side hold a two-point lead over Liverpool at the top of the Premier League standings, but can move five points ahead of the Reds, who play on Wednesday, by taking all three points tonight.




Guardiola has opted not to risk Sergio Aguero, who has a muscle problem. Kevin De Bruyne remains unavailable for selection as he recovers from hurting knee ligaments.

Manchester City have Ederson in goal, while at the back Guardiola plumps for Vincent Kompany and John Stones as the centre-back pairing. In midfield, Fernandinho will look to protect the backline, while David Silva plays. Bernardo Silva, Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sane are given starts, while Gabriel Jesus is up top.

The Citizens have options on the bench if Guardiola wants to change things, including Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling.
