Kick-off is less than five minutes away as both sides get ready to make their way out onto the pitch
14:50
Much has been made of how Solskjaer has failed to utilise his squad, but with a hectic set of fixtures coming up he reiterated how important every player in is squad is "We value them and we need them and to be a successful team at the end of the season. Everyone’s going to play their part at different periods of the season, some more than others."
14:45
Ranieri will be keen to sure things up at the back as they have conceded at least once in each of their last 21 Premier League games, making it their longest ever run without a clean sheet in the top-flight
14:40
This seems an ideal fixture for United to get their season back on track as they have won 18 of their 26 matches against Watford (D4 L4), with a win ratio of 69%
14:35
Just like Solskjaer, Ranieri would have no doubt used the international break to plot a route through a set of tough fixtures in quick succession, as they will be hosting Chelsea and Man City, in addition to visiting Leicester before the end of the month
14:30
In the build up to today's match Solskjaer highlighted how the international break gave his side a chance to reset "For us, I think this break came at a good time now to come back fresh, look at things, make some minor adjustments, get back to who we know we are, make sure we come out on Saturday on the front foot with lots of belief and trust in ourselves."
14:25
It seems a long time ago that Hornets were celebrating an emphatic a 3-2 home win over Aston Villa at the start of the season, but since then they have only picked up one point from their last four league fixtures at Vicarage Road, losing to Wolves, Liverpool and Southampton during a worrying run
14:20
Ahead of today's clash the Watford manager made it clear he was relishing the challenge of taking on United "I love this kind of pressure, I am alive when there is this kind of duel between the big team and underdog. I want my team to show their character and arrogance.”
14:15
This should be a fascinating encounter as both sides will be looking to get back to winning ways as they share a record of just one win in their last five games
