• Premier League half-term reports: how is your team doing?
What are the managers saying?
I can feel that the players want more, they feel like what they have done so far is not enough. This is an amazing characteristic for the players to have, and for sure we will try to improve in the second half of the season. They want to give the best in an individual way and a collective way, with the idea to reach our objectives - Quique Sanchez Flores
Of course we are in a good position. Always the best position is to be top of the table but I think that this is a special season in the Premier League. With the amount of points we have at this moment, it is not good to fight for the title in a normal season, but we are now just three points behind the leaders. I hope we are going to complete with a very good second part of the season - Manuel Pellegrini
Jonathan Liew's match notes
Not since September have Manchester City beaten a top-half side in the Premier League. If they are serious about a title challenge, that needs to change. Watford have embarrassed plenty of teams this season, but how much will their 10-man rearguard against Tottenham on Monday have taken out of them?
Prediction: 1-1
What are the odds?
Watford: 21/5
Manchester City: 3/4
Draw: 41/13
