Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester City's Premier League trip to Watford from Vicarage Road. The champions continued their fine form at the weekend with a 3-1 win over Bournemouth, and remain top of the table by two points. After a strong start to the season Watford have stuttered of late, and have picked up just one point in their last four league games. A win for City will put them five clear, with second-placed Liverpool not playing until Wednesday. I'm Pete Hall, and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!
