Lawrenson...Watford v City

[Johnny Baguette]

Watford v Man City (17:30 GMT)

Watford will feel hard done by after losing to an 89th-minute Son Heung-Min goal against Tottenham. After meetings with Chelsea and Liverpool as well in recent weeks, this match concludes a difficult run of games in the league.

Man City will be missing injured Vincent Kompany for a month or so and their defence always looks substantially weaker without their captain.

Their midfield lacked spark in the goalless draw against Leicester, with David Silva unusually quiet.

I cannot see City keeping a clean sheet at Watford. Every team in the league fancies their chances when City come to town, they don't have that aura that the best teams have around them.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1

Every team in the league fancy their chances, eh Lawro? Funny that only 3 teams from 9 have scored home goals against City then isn't it?

Not sure on this but I believe we have more clean sheets away from home than anyone else in the league.

Fancying one's chances doesn't mean one will actually pull . . .

True but another example of how he's talking bollox is the fact that Leicester changed their tactics from two up top to just the one specifically for our visit.

Maybe Ranieri fancied his chances of taking a point off us? I think the Hornets will give us another tough game but then again there aren't many easy games at this level.

Maybe but that's not what Lawro is insinuating.

6 clean sheet from 9 away games, I just think it is a myth about us always conceding/leaking goals, we have the 6th best defence whilostr we are joint top scorers

has anyone yet brought up the most important fact surrounding this thread?

IE the one that goes Lawro is a c***? :grin:
