City Faces Watford: Can the Underdog Upset the Champs?

Manchester City will face Watford in a third-round EFL Carabao Cup match on Tuesday, available for streaming on Paramount+. City leads the English Premier League table and recently played to a 2-2 draw against Arsenal, where they managed to score a last-minute equalizer through John Stones, despite Arsenal playing with ten men for the second half. Watford, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to Norwich City over the weekend and currently sits eighth in the EFL Championship.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 2:45 p.m. ET at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester. According to the latest betting odds, Manchester City is the favorite to win at -800 (bet $800 to win $100), while Watford is considered the underdog at +1800. A draw is priced at +650, and the over/under for total goals is set at 3.5. The match can be streamed live on Paramount+, which is currently offering a free seven-day trial for new subscribers.
