TEAM NEWS Watford's Kiko Femenia is fit to face Manchester City after recovering from a head injury sustained against Southampton last weekend. Fellow defender Younes Kaboul is out after picking up a hamstring injury against Saints, but forward Roberto Pereyra returns. City defender Vincent Kompany is back in training although he is unlikely to make an immediate return. Raheem Sterling returns to the squad after serving a domestic ban. MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES Guy Mowbray: "It's fourth versus second in the Premier League, with the early table only indicative of how well Watford have started under Marco Silva. "Now their biggest test - against a side that's scored nine times without reply in their last two games, won 5-0 at Vicarage Road to end last season, and about whom Pep Guardiola says after almost every match "we have to improve"!! "A well-rested Watford will hope for post-Feyenoord fatigue from City, and an end to a defensive jinx that's seen Silva unable to field the same backline for successive games. "The Hornets last beat City in the top flight in April 1987. Sterling scored. Worrell Sterling." Twitter: @Guymowbray WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY Watford head coach Marco Silva: "It's important at the moment that everyone, starting with myself, keeps their feet on the ground. "What we have achieved now is only eight points and nothing special. We are happy, everyone is happy at the club and the fans are happy. "It is a big fight and we know what our way is. The big expectation is always good and not a problem." Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on out-of-favour Yaya Toure: "We need him, I need him, the team needs him, he was important last season and will be this season. "We admire what he has done - he is an exceptional player, so now he was not in the last game, the squad, of course he is ready to help us. "I would like for everybody to be involved but I think about every game and what is the best team to play. We will see." LAWRO'S PREDICTION The Hornets will feel that, if they can get at Manchester City, they can cause them problems. I still think City will be confident that their attack is good enough to get them the three points here again, though.
