I don't understand the logic in saying that "It's only [insert name of team here], we should beat them easy"
Have you not watched enough football over the years to know that this isn't always the case. I don't care what the name of the club is, let's go a bit deeper than that and have a look at their recent results and performances.
Watford have been very good this season with some tremendous performances. I know they have the ignominy of losing to Everton, but it was a bit of a fluke tbh. They also lost at Stamford Bridge but certainly didn't deserve it. They were fantastic in that game.
I'm not trying to paint them as world beaters here, but this will be a really tough game. I hope i'm wrong and we thump them 5-0. But i don't see that happening.
This arrogance that we should simply beat them because of who we are is also particularly strange when you consider our performances have been all over the shop; you have no idea which United is going to turn up.
So i'm a little pessimistic, but hope to god we batter them!
