Manchester United host Watford at Old Trafford on Saturday (3pm kick-off) in need of three points to keep the pressure on the Premier League’s top four.

Jose Mourinho’s men got back to winning ways after three straight draws with a comfortable 3-0 victory at champions Leicester last weekend, a result which saw them close the gap on fourth place Arsenal to just two points.

Thus, victory for the Red Devils could take them into the top four for the first time since September, but it won’t be easy against Walter Mazzarri’s Watford, who haven’t lost in the league since a 2-0 defeat to Stoke on January 3.

Since then, the Hornets have picked up eight points from a possible 12, and go to Old Trafford on Saturday off the back of two successive victories, with a fine 2-1 win at Arsenal followed up by a 2-1 success over Burnley last weekend.

Nonetheless, United will go in as heavy favourites on Saturday, and if they were to win, they could go within 11 points of leaders Chelsea.

And, given that they still have to face Antonio Conte’s men at Old Trafford later on in the campaign, Mourinho’s men may feel confident of reeling the Blues in come May.

They certainly have the confidence and the players to do just that, so here is the United XI that can catch Premier League leaders Chelsea…
