After earning an impressive 2-0 win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday, Manchester United returns to Old Trafford to host Watford on Sunday. Manchester United is now just three points behind fourth-place Chelsea in the Premier League standings. Watford last played on February 8 when they had a 1-1 road draw against Brighton.

Players to Watch
Simulations I have run project Anthony Martial, Daniel James, Troy Deeney and Gerard Deulofeu as the players most likely to score.
Martial scored the first goal against Chelsea last Monday and he can be a difference-maker on Sunday. Martial's potential is undeniable but he is at a point in his career in which he has to prove that he can lead the offense for Man U on a regular basis.
That hasn't been the case so far. The 24-year-old has nine goals in 20 Premier League games this season and he needs to finish his campaign strong in order to secure his spot on the team. The Bruno Fernandes signing has helped Martial, as he no longer has go after the ball and act as a playmaker. Fernandes is a facilitator and Martial can now focus on being where he need to be to score goals. We will see that on Saturday but I still like the Under. Watford won't contribute to the total and Man U looks for payback after what happened the last time these two teams played each other.
