Newly-promoted club Watford FC (4-4-4, 16 points) takes on perennial powerhouse Manchester United (7-2-3, 24 points) at the Vicarage Road on Saturday, November 21st for a 2015-2016 Premier League game.

Watford came up short against Leicester City, 1-2, at the King Power Stadium on November 7th as the Foxes' built an early 2-0 lead that the Hornets could not overcome, as reported by BBC Sport.

After a scoreless first half, the Blue Army's midfielder N'Golo Kanté and striker Jamie Vardy netted a goal each at the 52nd and 65th minutes to Quique Sánchez Flores' squad.

Yellow Army captain Troy Deeney managed to punch in one with a penalty kick at the 75th but it was the closest Watford could come in the match.

The Red Devils blanked struggling squad West Brom, 2-0, at the Old Trafford also on November 7th to enter the international break on a winning note after two straight drawn matches, via SkySports.

Seldom-used winger Jesse Lingard and attacking midfielder Juan Mata provided the goals for Louis van Gaal's side at the 52nd and 90th+1 marks after a goalless first half as well.

United had not been beaten in their last four matches while Watford split its last four.

With a new attacking lineup composed of Lingard, Mata, and Anthony Martial, the Red Devil's scoring chances had improved and it looks like they will continue to do wonders in this game versus the Hornets.

The prediction is a 3-1 victory for Manchester United.

Watford starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Gomes; Nyom, Cathcart, Britos, Aké; Abdi, Watson, Anya, Capoue; Deeney, Ighalo

Manchester United starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): De Gea; Young, Smalling, Blind, Rojo; Carrick, Rooney; Schweinsteiger, Mata, Lingard; Martial
