Having already beaten Manchester United, Watford are looking to defeat both the Red Devils and Manchester City in a single league season for the first time since 1986/87.

Watford have never beaten Man City in the Premier League (D2 L10), losing their last 10 by an aggregate score of 37-4.

City are unbeaten in their last 18 meetings with Watford in all competitions (W16 D2), netting 59 goals in this run. Only against Norwich (22 between 1965 and 1981), Walsall (19 since 1897) and West Brom (19 since 2010) have they ever had longer unbeaten runs.

Pep Guardiola's side have not lost any of their last 10 matches in all competitions in the month of December (W7 D3). Across those 10 matches they have scored 17 goals and conceded only three.
