The match starts at Old Trafford, Manchester United receives Watford in what will be the 27th round of the Premier League. 

Watford manager Roy Hodgson has won his last two Premier League games at Old Trafford, beating Manchester United there with Crystal Palace in 2019/20 and 2020/21. Pep Guardiola is the only manager to have won three consecutive PL games at Man Utd. 

United have never lost a home league game against Watford (W11 D2) - no team has met more at home in their league history without suffering a defeat (also 13 against Hull City).

Watford look to complete their first league double over the Red Devils; they have won two of their last three games against them in the league, having won just one of their previous 15 (L14).

Claudio Ranieri was Watford's manager in their 4-1 win earlier this season over Man Utd, while Hodgson will take charge of this match. If the Hornets win, they will be the first team to complete a league double over United with a different manager in each game since Bolton Wanderers in 1950/51 (Walter Rowley and Bill Ridding).

Watford gave an unexpected result in the confrontation with Aston Villa - the guys managed to win with a minimum score of 1: 0, although they exhibited clear Underdogs. However, in the next match, the "Hornets" suffered a crushing defeat to Crystal Palace 1: 4. Yes, so far Hodgson's wards lack stability, but the new mentor will try to do everything possible to get out of the relegation zone.

The "Red Devils" recently played the first game of the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid. Although Man United controlled the ball 61 percent of the time, the confrontation ended in a 1:1 draw. Moreover, the British managed to regain parity only in the 80th minute, the goal was scored by 19-year-old Anthony elang. Note that in the Championship, Rangnick's protégés are still in fourth place with 46 points in the active.

This is the eleven that Watford sends to get three golden points at Old Trafford. 

Has not won in 13 of their last 14 matches.
Have conceded in 33 of their last 35 Premier League matches.
Have conceded in the 2nd half in 14 of their last 16 matches.
Have scored less than 1.5 goals in each of their last 13 matches in a row.

Has not lost in 18 of its last 19 matches.
Has scored in 19 of its last 20 matches.

This is the starting lineup that Manchester United sends to look for the three points at Old Trafford, going all out for the win. 

Last year, the teams met twice. In the Cup tie, the win with a minimum score of 1:0 went to Man United, while in the Championship match, Watford secured a confident 4:1 victory. 

The wait is over, the Premier League action returns with the duel between Manchester United and Watford from Old Trafford. Both teams will be looking for a win before the league break for the FA Cup, so it will be important to get the three points today.

In the Wasps the presence of the Colombian Juan Camilo Hernandez stands out, who comes from scoring one of the winning goals on date two and who is shown as one of the alternatives in the attack to try to be very effective in front of the rival goal, so he could be the fundamental piece when facing the Red Devil's.

The best player in the world for his own and others, Lusitanian star, legend and idol of several clubs in Europe, Cristiano Ronaldo will be the player to follow for this match. Since his return to the club where he was born as a legend, the Portuguese player has played 2,298 minutes with the Red Devil's jersey, has appeared 28 times in the starting lineup, has scored 15 times so far this season and has assisted three times. He has also received the yellow card 6 times and so far has not been sent off, so CR7 will be the player to watch for this match.

Manchester United and Watford have met on a total of 36 occasions (24 wins for the Red Devil's, 5 draws and 7 wins for Watford) with the scales tipping heavily in favor of the Manchester side. In terms of goals, Manchester United is far better as it has scored 64 goals while Watford has scored 34 goals. Their last meeting dates back to matchday 12 of the current season where Watford came out on top by a landslide.

Old Trafford is a soccer stadium located in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, in the North West region of England, and the home of Manchester United. With a capacity of 76,000 it is the largest club soccer stadium (and the second largest soccer stadium overall after Wembley Stadium) in the United Kingdom, and the eleventh largest in Europe. It is approximately 800 meters (0.5 miles) from Old Trafford Cricket Ground and the adjacent streetcar stop.

Watford has been going through a drama since the beginning of the Premier League season, as they have not been able to get out of the bottom of the general table and have been fighting since the first few rounds to avoid relegation from the Premier League's top flight. Currently, the team is in 18th place in the general table with 18 units achieved that have been the product of 5 wins, 3 draws and 16 defeats, also, they have 24 goals for and 43 against, a situation that leaves them with a difference of -19 goals difference.

The Red Devil's squad is still in the upper part of the table, and they will try to keep it that way in order to stay in UEFA Champions League qualifying positions. At the moment they are in the fourth place of the general table with 46 points obtained from 13 wins, 7 draws and 6 defeats so far this season. Likewise, they have scored 44 goals for and 34 goals against, a situation that leaves them with a +10 goal difference in their favor. Manchester United has gradually recovered the path of good soccer and will be looking to close the season with a bang.

The twenty-seventh round of the Premier League is here and both clubs live completely different realities as one is at the top of the overall table, while the other is living a drama to avoid relegation to the second division of England. On the one hand, the Red Devil's are at the top of the table and aspire to finish fourth in the Premier League to have a direct place in the UEFA Champions League, also, they are currently in that competition and in case of winning it, they would give the possibility for the fifth place to go. On the other hand, Watford is already in the relegation zone and every day they are playing for their lives to stay in the Premier League, so getting the three points this time will be of vital importance.

The Manchester United vs Watford match will be played at Old Tarfford, in Manchester, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:00 am ET.
