Manchester United vs Watford Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Manchester United will be determined to return to form when they welcome Watford to Old Trafford in Saturday's Premier league clash.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suffered his first league defeat as caretaker manager against Arsenal in the last Premier League game, before crashing out of the FA Cup at the hands of Wolves.

However, the Norwegian has just been handed a three-year contract by the club and so will be in high spirits ahead of the visit of the Hornets.

Latest odds

Having come out on top in 10 of their 11 previous Premier League meetings with this opposition, they are 42/100 (1.42) favourites with William Hill to get back to winning ways here.

The Hornets have not won any of their last 11 visits to this ground, and are priced at 13/2 (7.50) to leave here with maximum points for the first time since 1978, or 15/4 (4.75) to claim a creditable draw.

Team news

While Alexis Sanchez remains sidelined, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lukaku, Antonio Valencia, Matteo Darmian, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard are all in contention following injury.

Jose Holebas is the guests' only injury doubt as he struggles with an ankle injury that has kept him out for the last few weeks.

High-scoring clash

After a tough couple of results, the Red Devils will be grateful to the fixture list for providing them with an opponent that has offered little resistance in previous encounters.

Having conceded eight times in their last two away matches against Liverpool and Manchester City, it is hard to see Javi Gracia's men proving particularly problematic here - particularly given the distraction of their upcoming FA Cup semi-final.

Nevertheless, it is still hard to have too much faith in a home defence that has kept fewer clean sheets in front of their own fans than anyone but Fulham.

Predictions

With action more than likely at both ends, odds of 10/11 (1.91) therefore look like decent value on United coming out on top in their ninth home match in 11 that features over 2.5 goals.
