Here are the best of the picks for the weekend:

Manchester City vs Watford (Premier League) 

Premier League champions Manchester City were shocked at Carrow Road last weekend when Norwich edged a dramatic five-goal thriller.

The Citizen’s defeat leaves them trailing title-rivals and league leaders Liverpool by five points, a situation that should see the hosts go all gun-blazing against Watford.

The Hornets are on a mini high though having fought their way back from two goals down against Arsenal to rescue a draw at Vicarage Road last week.

However Watford have lost each of their last 15 away games against the Premier League’s top six clubs, and the story should not change much on Saturday.
