Manchester City looking to break all-time English football winning record against Watford

Manchester City will be looking to break an all-time English football record when they welcome Watford to the Etihad Stadium for their Premier League contest on Saturday afternoon.

The Citizens claimed a 3-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday night to move back to the top of the table, one point above title rivals Liverpool with six games remaining.

City have an impressive record against Watford, having won each of their last 14 meetings against them across all competitions.

Should Pep Guardiola's men claim all three points on Saturday, then they would become the first team in English football history to win 15 consecutive competitive matches against the same opponent.

Guardiola himself has had plenty of success against Watford, as he has won all 10 of his meetings against them by an aggregate score of 42-4. The Spaniard's 100% win rate against the Hornets is his best versus a single opponent in his managerial career.

Man City demolished Watford when the two sides last met at the Etihad, as they won 8-0 in September 2019 in a game which saw the Citizens leading 5-0 within the first 18 minutes.
