Manchester United have a chance to go on top of the table for at least a two hours if van Gaal’s men beat Watford today, but the Red Devils will face a tough challenge due to the problems in attack. Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Marouane Fellaini all are injured, further United manager admitted James Wilson is not in a position to play 90 minutes, and the list of absentees in Manchester United’s team list will definitely give enough confidence to Watford’s hopes to secure a shock famous win. Specially United defence will not enjoy the challenge of restricting Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo at their home ground. Also Watford can enter into the top half of the league table with a positive result against Manchester United after going into the international break with a 2-1 defeat in the hands of Leicester City. They are occupying the 11th spot in the league right now.
