Guardiola admitted the pressure is on the Premier League Champions but asserted Watford have the quality to triumph, pinpointing the areas in which he feels the Hornets can sting.
“They have quality in front with Roberto Pereyra, Troy Deeney and Gerard Deulofeu; with Abdoulaye Doucoure and Etienne Capoue - especially Doucoure - and the way they turn up late into the 18-yard-box,” he stated.
“They handle the defensive side well and with the set-pieces they have, they have Jose Holebas, who is an incredible set-piece taker.”
