It looks as though BT Sport might have picked the wrong game to televise tomorrow because Watford’s clash against Manchester United just screams low-scoring affair.

Watford fans have reason to be satisfied as they sit 11th in the table but they have witnessed just three goals from their team in six Premier League matches at Vicarage Road, two of which have been home wins.

United, meanwhile, have scored just three goals in their last six games and will travel to Hertforshire without Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Marouanne Fellaini.

It’s 8-11 on at least one team failing to score, while less than two goals in the match is 37-20.

Odion Ighalo has scored seven of Watford’s 11 Premier League goals this season and he is 37-13 to get a goal at any time and 6-1 to grab the opener.

Ashley Young is 50-1 to be booked for simulation on his return to Watford, who haven’t beaten United at home since 1986.

It’s 20-1 on Sterling and Milner haunting old teams

Manchester City vs Liverpool preview

Raheem Sterling and James Milner can expect very different receptions at Etihad Stadium when Manchester City face Liverpool.

Sterling was the one-time darling of the Kop but his £49million move to City left a sour taste in the mouths of Liverpool fans.

Milner moved in the opposite direction to Sterling, joining Liverpool on a free transfer after winning two Premier League titles with City, and has been captain for Jurgen Klopp’s opening six games.

It’s 20-1 on Sterling and Milner both scoring tomorrow.

Milner is also 12-5 to be booked, while Sterling is 27-5 to break the deadlock.

City have scored in every home game this season, while Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet after starting the campaign with two 1-0 wins.

Both teams to score is 12-19 and a City win in a four-team accumulator with Arsenal, Southampton and Swansea pays an enhanced 15-2 with 888sport.

Moyes is on the lookout… and keep eye on 10-1 Messi, too

This time last year, David Moyes had just spent his first week in charge of Real Sociedad. Now the Scot is looking for a new club after being sacked by the Spaniards.

You can bet on where he will end up next. He is 6-4 to manage a Championship club, 7-4 to make a return with a Premier League side and 9-1 to coach an international side.

In Spain, the big match in La Liga this weekend sees Real Madrid take on Barcelona and much of the pre-match talk centered on whether Lionel Messi will be fit to play.

Messi, who has not played since injuring his knee in September, is set to undergo a late fitness test to determine his participation. Should he come through it, he is likely to start on the bench for Barca — and 888sport are offering 10-1 on the Argentine striker coming on to score the winner.
