If they had, who could blame them? They were, after all, the newly crowned champions. Meanwhile, Manchester City looked like a side in the mood to make a point.

The French international looks like he's over his injury problems and has won the confidence of Pep Guardiola again.

Bournemouth will be desperate to stop the rot this Sunday and we can see them coming out fighting. However, the strong form and iron confidence of Watford will ensure that they won't be cowed by a spirited start from their hosts. Ultimately, we see the visitors having the better chance of winning. To play it safe, we would advise backing the Hornets in a double chance bet.

Serbia super league and match between Backa Topola and Javor Ivanjica. Backa Topola is fighting for Europe this season, currently Vojvodina is 6 points away from them, but with today's victory they are going to -3, so they have no right to stumble. A lot has been invested in this team because Hungarian owners have invested a lot and their goal is only Europe. Good atmosphere in the team, there are 4 rounds left and they have to get the most out of it. They have 2-3 weeks of team work, they are very ready for this match, they played 2 preparatory matches, they gave 3 pieces in the first and 7 in the second. My prediction is over 3.5 goals.
