Really itching for this game now, it feels like it's been too long already.
Tough game, Watford are probably in their best ever Premier League form? At least since they joined the top flight again I'd wager. I'd say avoiding defeat here is a decent result, but with the two losses already any dropped points in the near future are going to hurt more than usual, even in difficult matches. We really need a run of four or five wins to put the doubts to bed.

---
Grant; Dalot, Bailly; Herrera, Fred, Mata; Martial
No Shaw or Rashford is a given, so the most likely replacements are Young into the side with Dalot on the bench and Mata to fill the final place also on the bench. I expect Fellaini to start again as Troy Deeney is certain to try and drop onto Lindelof at every opportunity. Wood tried it for Burnley in the first half on both Lindelof and Smalling without much luck, especially with Fellaini in midfield to drop back. Having all of Matic, Fellaini, and Pogba in the middle is something I think Jose will put a big importance on.
I'd probably lean more towards a draw here, but I'll go out on a limb and say 1-2 United.
