Manchester United had now won the last ten meetings in all competitions, with Watford's last win coming in September 1986. As a mark of respect for the victims of the terrorist attacks on Paris the previous weekend, La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, was played before the start of this match. Premier League chief Richard Scudamore called it an act of “solidarity and remembrance” after the Paris attacks. Kick-off: 12.45pm
