Manchester City could rise to the top of the table when they take on Watford as part of the Premier League TV schedule this weekend.

Should Chelsea fail to defeat West Ham in the early Saturday lunchtime kick-off, City would rise to the summit, regardless of any other results on the day.

Pep Guardiola’s men appear to be growing into 2021/22, not that they’ve been poor before now, but they just seem to have kicked up a gear with Bernardo Silva running the show on a routine basis and the team generally able to grind out wins from awkward encounters.

Watford remain an entertaining watch for the neutrals with Josh King and Emmanuel Dennis increasingly proficient in front of goal.

However, their contributions have mostly been overshadowed by a leaky defence that has shipped 10 goals in their last three outings.

Our prediction: Watford v Man City

City haven’t been blowing teams away, but they have been producing the performances that eventual champions need to put in. They simply find a way through by any means necessary.

There’s still more to come from City this term, especially if they can wrangle a striker in January and bring Kevin De Bruyne up to speed.

Watford are prone to finding a way through regardless of their opponents, but City have the quality to secure three points. Again.

Our prediction: Watford 1-3 Man City (11/1 at bet365)
