Watford has had one hell of a ride. It reached the 2019 FA Cup final before running into Manchester City and a 6-0 drubbing. It ended Liverpool's streak of 18 wins in 2020 — and still got relegated out of the Premier League by a single point. Watford currently stands sixth in the EFL's Sky Bet Championship.

And on Jan. 9 it goes up against Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup.

Man U, meanwhile, is cruising right along. It's second in the Premier League, tied with Liverpool at 33 points, with 10 wins, three losses and three draws thus far, and winning four if its last five. 

So what's going to happen today? And perhaps more important, how can you watch Manchester United vs. Watford?
