    There's no doubt in my mind it's going to be a tough afternoon for Watford but they are here on merit.

    It's important they maintain their shape because that will frustrate Manchester City.

    Manchester City 0-0 Watford

    Watford are close to matching City up in a 4-3-3 when in possession, as Roberto Pereyra and Gerard Deulofeu flank Troy Deeney. As you'd expect though, it's largely City on the ball in these early stages as Aymeric Laporte smashes a shot over from a mile out.

    You're not Kompany yet mate...

    It is interesting to see Sterling go up alongside Jesus, finding that little pocket behind the midfield players. That will be an important area for City today.

    Both sides will be attacking towards their own fans in the second half. And there's a sniff! From the corner the ball is played back in towards Gabriel Jesus - who looked offside to me - but he couldn't quite control it.

    Adrian Mariappa hoiks the ball clean out of play. It feels an awful long time ago since I was covering him playing in the Championship.

    City then instantly win a corner.

    Both teams in standard 'home' kits and nobody wearing gloves as far as I can tell from this range.

    Raheem Sterling blows out his cheeks as the huge banners are folded up on the pitch and packed away. These two sides end their seasons this afternoon. May as well do it with a win eh?

    Prince William shares a joke as he comes out to shake hands with Vincent Kompany and the rest of the City XI.

    Bizarrely, it's scored by the soundtrack to Stranger Things.

    'Championes!' rings out from the City fans to my left as a salvo of pyrotechnics welcome the two sides out onto the field.

    The two Spanish managers stride out at the head of the lines.

    Watford can compete. They have already been positive by naming Gerard Deulofeu up front with Troy Deeney, so that tells you they think they can cause Manchester City problems.

    Jose Holebas' delivery will cause Manchester City problems. He can put it in areas for Adrian Mariappa, Craig Cathcart and Troy Deeney to attack.

    His suspension being overturned is a huge lift for Watford.

    If you say Watford cannot do it, you don't know the FA Cup. But it will be a tough task obviously.
