Kucka was sent off in this defeat after he picked up 2 yellow cards, leaving newly appointed manager, Claudio Ranieri with one less option ahead of this one.
Watford remain in 17th place with 10 points, just two points above the drop zone. With United not being in good form as well, the hosts could fancy a shock win.
On the other hand, Manchester United’s horror season continued with a crushing 2-0 home loss to city rivals, Manchester City in their previous clash.
Bailly’s own goal and Silva’s strike on the cusp of half-time dashed United’s hopes of getting back into the game.
United barely got into the game during the 90 minutes which put pressure on Ole’s position, but the board have stuck with the ex-player for now.
Manchester United is in 6th place with 17 points from 11 matches and are playing catch-up at this moment.
Both sides met last in the FA Cup earlier this year where United won 1-0 at home as Mctominay’s goal proved to be the decider.

Prediction: Watford 1-3 Man United
United have been poor in the league in recent weeks and will want nothing less than a win in this one.
Watford’s performances have not shown much this season and will still need time to get into contention.
We expect United to get back their lost confidence with a convincing win out here ahead of a tough run of fixtures as they have more quality.
Players to watch out for: King, Sarr, Ronaldo and van de Beek.
