Just a couple of days after an unexpected failure, the "Manchester United" footballers will seek revenge tomorrow in the "Premier" league match against the local "Watford" club, as reported by manutd.lt.
"The Red Devils" have collected four points in the first four rounds, when in the last round they managed to bounce back from a loss against "West Ham" by winning 4 - 2. These matches will mark the end of a tough schedule for the hosts, as Walter Mazzarri's team has already suffered defeats against London "Arsenal" and "Chelsea" clubs.
Team news
The head coach of "Watford" W. Mazzarri hopes to rely on the same players who secured victory against the "Hammers". Younes Kaboul and Sebastian Prodl will undergo late medical checks.
However, Stefano Okaka, who made his debut in the last round, suffered an injury and is expected to be out for a month.
Among the visitors, Wayne Rooney, Luke Shaw, and Antonio Valencia return to the lineup after a rest. Center back Eric Bailly will undergo a check-up to determine if he can appear on the field.
Meanwhile, Henrikh Mkhitaryan will join the list of injured players, which includes Phil Jones.
OPTA facts
- "Watford" club is currently on a losing streak against "Manchester United" in the last nine meetings.
- "United" last lost to "The Hornets" in September 1986 - two months before Sir Alex Ferguson's arrival.
- Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored four goals in four matches in the "Premier" league.
- The "Red Devils" last won three consecutive matches away in April 2014, under the management of David Moyes.

Players to watch
Troy Deeney, who scored fifteen goals in all competitions last season, is the dominant force in "Watford"'s attack. Also, we must not forget about another forward, Odion Ighalo, who may not shine this season, but looking back at the previous season, we can expect goals from him as well.
However, the biggest attacking threat this season is Etienne Capoue. The Frenchman arrived from "Tottenham" team and has already scored three goals and provided four assists.
