Hornets game is a must-win

MANCHESTER City's home clash against Watford tonight is a must-win game as far as I'm concerned.

The disappointing result at Leicester at the weekend means City really need the three points so they can stay in touch with Chelsea, who are flying high at the top right now.

A couple of long balls caused huge problems for City at Leicester. The defence was caught out by them and once the visitors found themselves two down almost immediately, they were chasing the game from that point on.

City will always score goals, but they can't keep leaking them at the back like they have been doing recently.

I believe tonight is also a must-win game because recent Premier League results at the Etihad appeared to have stalled somewhat.

There's been too many draws against the likes of Middlesbrough and Southampton, and of course there was the defeat by Chelsea.

On a much more positive note I was pleased with City's draw in the Champions League last 16.

Pep Guardiola and his men could have been paired with tougher opposition than Monaco in my opinion, having missed out on meeting Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Atletico Madrid and others.

Play like they did against Barca in the group stage and City should have no fears about anyone.

I'm also pleased because I might get the chance to go and visit my great pal Richard Dunne.

He has got an apartment in Monaco, as well as a place not too far away in southern France.
