Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Watford

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Watford.

Manchester City will be looking to move four points clear at the top of the Premier League table when they welcome Watford to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Citizens returned to the summit on Wednesday courtesy of a 3-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, and they sit one point ahead of second-placed Liverpool, who are next in action against Everton on Sunday.

Man City's clash with Watford comes just three days before the first leg of their Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid, but they cannot afford to take their eye off the ball in the league.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the home side's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Watford, who currently sit 19th in the table.
