Watford vs Manchester City preview: Sergio Aguero return to form can't come soon enough

It’s a big game for…

Sergio Aguero: The Manchester City striker has had a disappointing season, having only managed to find the back of the net seven times in the League this season, as much of his campaign has been frustrated by injuries. He was replaced after 62 minutes against Leicester, and uncharacteristically missed from inside the six-yard box. A return to form cannot come soon enough for Manchester City.

Best stats…

Watford - 30: Striker Odion Ighalo has scored 30 goals in the League in 2015, more than any other player in England’s top four leagues.

Manchester City - 1: City have managed to score just once in their last five away games in the Premier League, something which will give Watford hope.

Remember when…

Manchester City scored four second half goals, including a Sergio Aguero hat-trick, to complete the comeback in an FA Cup fourth round tie in January 2014.

Player to watch…

Odion Ighalo: The Watford strike man has been in sublime form recently, scoring in each of Watford’s last six games, and his ability to score could be the difference between the two sides, while Manchester City look to end their poor away form.
