  • City manager Pep Guardiola has won all 10 of his meetings with Watford by an aggregate score of 42-4 - his best 100% winning record against any side.

  • The Hornets have conceded 41 goals in 13 games against City in the Premier League, the most to any side in the competition. The 3.2 goals per game that they have let in in this fixture is the most by one side against another among all fixtures played at least 10 times.
