By Bence Bocsak
Manchester United face Watford in the Premier League hoping to secure another victory and forget their trip to Vicarage Road earlier this season.
Manchester United suffered undoubtedly their worst defeat of the season when they last faced Watford in the Premier League.
The Red Devils will be desperate to erase all memories of their dreadful trip to Vicarage Road and will be hoping to secure another victory and continue their pursuit of the top four.
After an impressive victory against rivals Chelsea, there is cause for optimism and even a dire 1-1 draw against Club Brugge has not tainted those hopes.
