The home team drew 2-2 with Arsenal at home on Sunday,eventually scoring in the final minute of the game.Manchester City will make a lot of changes for this game,but the team is more than enough to beat their opponents.
Last season,Manchester City lost at this stage of the Carabao Cup.However,they have been very successful in this competition and won four consecutive seasons in 2017-18 and 2020-21.This is their first game of the season.
The goal against Arsenal means Manchester City is unbeaten in seven games this season.In the Carabao Cup,they have only lost once at home since 2014.That was a home defeat to Manchester United in January 2020.
They have won their last 15 games against Watford,and their last loss to Watford was in 2007.It has been 37 years since they last lost to Watford at home.In the last five games,they have won by an amazing total score of 26-2.The home team should be able to win with a high probability.
The last time Watford reached the fourth round of this competition was in the 2019-20 season.They face a tough task to go further in this season's Carabao Cup.
The Hornets are currently eighth in the Championship,just one point behind the final promotion play-off spot.They lost 1-4 to Norwich City last weekend and have only one point in their last three games.
Meanwhile,Watford's defense was not helped against Norwich by being substituted soon after the start of the game,with goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann and center back Francisco Celalta being substituted within minutes of the first quarter of the game.
Watford has confirmed that both have muscle injuries,but they will not be able to advance in Tuesday's game,so backup goalkeeper Jonathan Bond and Ryan Porteous should be selected in the starting lineup as their substitutes.This may be a difficult game for the away team.
Prediction:Home win
Score:3-1,2-0,3-0
