In the last two games Watford have managed to collect three valuable premiership points as well as beat West Ham in the FA Cup. A trip to Old Trafford is arguably not the fixture they need, particularly as it means they can’t play Ben Foster – who will be returning to Old Trafford in the summer. However, I believe it is just the fixture that United need. The three points are there to be collected and I believe the hunger is there to take them.
In terms of team news, the only main issue is the knee injury to Saha. This should see Rooney start alongside Larsson, and see Solskjaer back on the bench. I would like to see us rest Giggs and instead play Ronaldo and Park. Park may have failed to convert chances against Villa, but he put in a decent performance and deserves to start.
I suspect Watford to play a high defensive line and I expect them to attack, leaving space for United to exploit. If United play Rooney and Ronaldo we should see United win by some margin. I get the feeling Larsson may well be licking his lips in anticipation.....
Probable Team: Van der Saar, Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Ronaldo, Carrick, Scholes, Park, Rooney, Larsson.
Subs from: Kuszczak; Heinze; Brown; O’Shea; Fletcher; Richardson; Fangzhou; Smith; Silvestre; Giggs; Solskjaer
Injured: Saha
Player to watch: Rooney
Prediction: 4-0
