Watford v Man City – Confirmed lineups – Star midfielder international hoping for first appearance in 10 months

Watford FC face Manchester City at Vicarage Road in the Premier League at 15:00 (GMT).

Man City also come into this weekends clash in impressive form following a 5-0 win over Liverpool and 4-0 victory over Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League.

Pep Guardiola’s side have won three games in a row, scoring nine goals in the process.

Germany international playmaker Ilkay Gundogan has made the match day squad for the third game running.

Gundogan will start on the bench but will make his first appearance in over ten months if Guardiola decides to give him playing time.

The midfielder of Turkish origin has been sidelined since December after suffering a knee injury.

Club captain Vincent Kompany will miss the clash after picking up an injury while on international duty with Belgium.

First-choice goalkeeper Ederson will start today despite being stretchered off the field last weekend.

De Bruyne, Aguero and Jesus will lead the attack for the Manchester based outfit.
