Watford head into back-to-back home games against Chelsea and Manchester City this week having won two and lost three of their last five matches - the most recent of which a 4-2 defeat at Leicester City. 
 
The Cityzens head into successive away matches on a three-game winning run which has narrowed the gap between themselves and league leaders Chelsea to a single point. 

"This is all about the team, all 24 players we have in the squad," said Manchester City midfielder Rodri after their 2-1 win over West Ham United. 

"We all need to be involved. Everyone is going to be important.

"People who maybe weren’t involved as much early in the season are now taking the responsibility.

"We have key players out, but we’re still winning and playing well - that’s the key to success at the end of the season," he added.

City took six points off the Hornets in the 2019/20 season. The defending league champions beat Watford 8-0 at home that season with Bernardo Silva netting a hat-trick, before a 4-0 win at Vicarage Road in the reverse fixture.
