Manchester City secured a comfortable victory over Watford despite being hampered by injuries sustained in their dramatic draw with Arsenal. Guardiola's side dominated the match, with Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes scoring goals to ensure a straightforward win.
After the drama of Sunday, which was like Bridgerton and Sherwood rolled into one, this was the routine win Manchester City wanted.
Watford boss Tom Cleverley prioritised Saturday’s Championship showdown with Sunderland as he made nine changes to take the sting out of any challenge the Hornets might have posed. Jeremy Doku, one of only two survivors from the Arsenal game with Kyle Walker, fired City in front inside five minutes. James McAtee nipped in and pulled the ball back for Jack Grealish, who squared it for Doku to fire home right-footed. Guardiola handed Kaden Braithwaite his debut at left-back and the teenage defender became the club’s third youngest player at 16 years and 229 days.
