Fixture: Manchester City vs Watford
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 20:00 (UK time)

Manchester City have officially confirmed their starting eleven and substitutes to play host to Watford at the Etihad Stadium in a Premier League fixture tonight.

Pep Guardiola's men were stunned by Leicester City at the weekend, crashing to a 4-2 defeat at the King Power Stadium and the Spanish boss will be looking for a reaction from his players against the Hornets.




The Citizens go into the match against a side sitting in ninth spot in the Premier League table, in fourth with 30 points, three more than fifth placed Spurs and six ahead of rivals Manchester United. For the game tonight, Guardiola picks a four-man backline, with Nicolas Otamendi and Aleksandar Kolarov the back two. Ilkay Gundogan sits in front of the back four, with then Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, David Silva and Yaya Toure supporting striker Nolito.

On the bench, the Manchester City manager has defender John Stones if needed, while Leroy Sane and Jesus Navas are wing options.
