Last meeting
A devastating attacking display saw City score eight goals without reply against the Hornets in September, to record our biggest Premier League win in the top-flight.
Five goals in the opening 18 minutes set the tone for a ruthless performance, in which Bernardo Silva scored a hat-trick.
David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Nicolas Otamendi and Kevin De Bruyne were also on target as Guardiola’s men ran riot at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep’s preview
“(I want us) to come back to who we are.
“With and without the ball. We are good when we go full gas, when we are a team with no fear and it doesn’t matter what happens.
“That is what we have to take in these two games. Watford can beat us, Norwich can beat us, but beat us being who are.”
Opposition view: Hayden Mullins
“It’s a very good team we are playing, with a fantastic manager, so we have to be as disciplined and as compact as we can.
“I’m looking forward to it. It’s a great challenge. My main focus is on these boys and getting a positive result.
“We need to do what we need to do in the last two games and set up and be as effective as we can be. I want them to be focused, disciplined and to work hard to go out and get a positive result.”
