CAN WATFORD DO THE IMPOSSIBLE AGAIN?
Back in November, Watford did what no one thought was possible, and hammered Man United 4-1 at Vicarage Road.
The result cost Ole Gunnar Solskjaer his job.
Since then, United have gone from seventh to fourth, while Watford are now four points from safety.
In fact, Watford received a 4-1 battering of their own just last week against Crystal Palace, with a Wilfried Zaha brace securing the win for the Eagles.
The silver lining for Watford is that they’ve only lost once in their past four matches away from home, but not many will have their hopes up.
Joshua King is also back after a back problem against Palace. The former Man United striker will certainly be looking to make an impact tonight.

HOW SECURE IS TOP FOUR FOR MAN UNITED?
The answer is not at all. Arsenal are hot on their heels, with the Gunners having two games in hand, while both West Ham and Wolves pose a threat as well.
Man United will go into this match with high spirits though, after their 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
The Red Devils went behind early through a Joao Felix header, and really struggled to break down Diego Simeone’s well drilled defence.
However, the introduction of Anthony Elanga proved to be decisive, with the teenager scoring the equalizer in the 80th minute.
He gets the start tonight ahead of an out of form Marcus Rashford. Let’s see how he'll fare as United look to make it three league wins in a row for the first time in 2022.
