Currently, Man City sits atop the English Premier League standings, drawing 2-2 against Arsenal in their last match, despite Arsenal playing a man down for the entire second half. Watford, on the other hand, has struggled recently, suffering a 4-1 defeat to Norwich City over the weekend and is positioned eighth in the EFL Championship.

Betting expert Martin Green has predicted that Manchester City will win with a clean sheet at -112. He noted that the team’s home record has been impressive, and with Watford’s recent away struggles, they may opt to rest some key players during a congested schedule.

Pep Guardiola has previously guided Manchester City to four successive EFL Cup titles from 2018 to 2021, and despite a surprising exit last year, he is expected to field a strong lineup as they aim to progress in this year’s tournament.
