The one thing you would say is that its a one-off game and anything can happen. If Watford think they can come and play an open, attacking, gung-ho game, theyll lose heavily.But Watford don’t play that way anyway. They play with one up front, five in midfield and pack the defence, theyll hope Man City cant play through them.If Man City underperform, not in terms of complacency, then Watford have a chance.John Barnes made his name at Watford before sealing a move to Liverpool in 1987Getty2

Newcastle legend Alan Shearer dubbed Manchester City the best Premier League team ever after beating Liverpool to the title last weekend.City finished the 2018/19 season on 98 points, one point ahead of Liverpool after winning 14 games on the bounce.And Barnes admits he would find it hard to disagree with Shearer if City win a domestic treble. He added: For the first time in history Manchester United won the Champions League, the league and the FA Cup and Liverpool and other teams have done the double.But to win the three domestic trophies, then you’re judged in England.In the Champions League you’re judged in Europe, whereas to win everything youve entered in England, at this moment in time, I would find it hard to disagree with it.Watch the Emirates FA Cup Final live on Saturday from 4pm on BT Sport 2.
