Man City team news vs Watford: Predicted line up – will Sergio Aguero play?
MANCHESTER CITY travel to face Watford on Tuesday evening – who will start?
Man City vs Watford: Pep Guardiola 'we accept the challenge'
Manchester City take on Watford tonight in a bid to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
However, the reigning champions could be without main man Sergio Aguero who missed Saturday's clash with Bournemouth through injury.
The Argentine star is reportedly struggling with muscle fatigue though the extent of his issue is unknown.
Given his absence at the weekend it is highly unlikely that Pep Guardiola will risk Aguero to start against Watford.
Gabriel Jesus is primed to start in Aguero's place, with Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling the in-form stars out wide.
Riyad Mahrez will be used often over the busy Christmas schedule, making it tough to determine how Guardiola will rotate his men.
David Silva, Bernardo Silva and Fernandinho are tipped to form the midfield trio at Vicarage Road.
Injuries to left-back duo Benjamin Mendy and Oleksandr Zinchenko will see Fabian Delph once again fill the gap.
Pep Guardiola: There were 'many reasons' for changing squad
Mendy is reportedly out until February, while Kevin De Bruyne isn't ready to return from a ligament injury.
John Stones is set to return to the defence alongside Aymerica Laporte, with Kyle Walker filling the last spot in the backline.
Predicted Manchester City team vs Watford
(4-3-3) Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Delph; B. Silva, Fernandinho, D. Silva; Sterling, Jesus, Sane.
