Soccer expert Martin Green has provided his predictions for the Man City vs. Watford clash, suggesting that Manchester City will secure a win with a clean sheet at -112 odds. City has not lost a home match in nearly two years, strengthened by Stones’ performance. Watford, having already lost two away games this month, might consider resting key players due to a busy upcoming schedule.

Pep Guardiola has historically prioritized the EFL Cup, leading Manchester City to four consecutive titles between 2018 and 2021.
