Premier League: Manchester United vs Watford preview

Manchester United will try to get themselves back on a winning streak when they face Watford at Old Trafford on Saturday. They will also think about revenge as Watford defeated them 3-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this season. However, the Red Devils have won eight of the last nine direct meetings between the two sides. Manchester United got back to winning ways last weekend with a comfortable 3-0 victory at struggling Leicester City, a much-needed win after three consecutive Premier League draws. They are currently sixth in the league table, 14 points behind leaders Chelsea. Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo are both fitness doubts for Jose Mourinho after recent injuries, while Wayne Rooney should be back after a period of illness. Watford should be quite confident coming from two consecutive wins, a 2-1 shock at Arsenal before last week's home victory over Burnley by the same scoreline. They are right in the middle of the league table at the moment, 10 points above the relegation zone and 15 points behind the top six. Jose Holebas is a fitness doubt after having picked up a knock last weekend, while Roberto Pereyra is still out injured. Probable line-ups: Man United: De Gea - Valencia, Smalling, Bailly, Rojo - Herrera, Pogba - Mata, Mkhitaryan, Rashford - Ibrahimovic Watford: Gomes - Cathcart, Kaboul, Prodl, Holebas - Capoue, Behrami, Cleverley - Niang, Deeney, Zarate My prediction: Manchester United to win 2-1. Here are the odds for the match at Bet365: Man United win - 1.25 Draw - 6.50 Watford win - 14.00
