Pep Guardiola has multiple selection dilemmas for the Premier League game against Watford this afternoon (3pm). But will title-chasing Manchester City stick or twist with Real Madrid on the horizon?
Having overcome Brighton on Wednesday night, there is another quick turnaround for the champions as they meet the relegation-threatened Hornets at the Etihad Stadium, before welcoming Spanish opponents to the same venue on Tuesday night (8pm). That itself gives Guardiola plenty to think about.
However, there is also the small matter of putting pressure on title rivals Liverpool with a positive result before the Merseyside derby on Sunday afternoon. City and Guardiola have all that on the agenda while monitoring injuries for defensive trio Kyle Walker (ankle), John Stones (muscle) and Nathan Ake (ankle).
