Manchester United will be looking for some positive momentum ahead of the FA Cup final when taking on Watford at Old Trafford on Sunday.

United are guaranteed their best Premier League finish in five years following the 0-0 draw with West Ham on Thursday that sealed second place.

However, they're rather limping towards the finishing line having not won and not scored in their last two Premier League games, which has led Jose Mourinho to question the mentality of some of his players.

Old Trafford has been a fortress this season as United have won 20 of their 25 home games in all competitions this season with their rock solid defence proving hard to break down - they've kept 18 clean sheets this season in the league.

Watford, who have quietly gone about their business this season, secured their first win in eight Premier League games against Newcastle last week. They had picked up just two points from their last seven games before seeing off the Toon.

Team news

Mourinho has confirmed he will recall forwards Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial for Manchester United's final Premier League game of the season at home to Watford.

The pair were on the bench for Thursday's goalless draw at West Ham as Mourinho made eight changes - with the United boss set to shuffle his pack once again against the Hornets.

Romelu Lukaku (ankle) and Marouane Fellaini (muscle) will miss out but the Belgium international duo will be pushing to be fit for the FA Cup final. Michael Carrick will start Sunday's league finale, for what will be the 36-year-old midfielder's final appearance at Old Trafford before hanging up his boots.

Younes Kaboul, Tom Cleverley, Tommie Hoba and Stefano Okaka remain sidelined for Watford while Andre Carrillo Diaz and Nathaniel Chalobah could be in contention.

Opta stats

Manchester United have won 13 of their last 14 meetings in all competitions with Watford, losing only at Vicarage Road in September 2016 (1-3).

Watford have never won in 10 top-flight visits to Old Trafford (D2 L8), losing each of their last six in a row.

This is the first time Watford are finishing a top-flight campaign away from home since 1987-88, when they lost 2-1 at Luton Town.

The Red Devils have won more final games in a Premier League campaign than any other side (17), losing only against Spurs in 2000-01 and West Ham in 2006-07.

Indeed, that defeat against West Ham is the only time Man Utd have lost in the last 23 occasions they've finished a top-flight season at home (W17 D5). Prior to that, their last such defeat was against Sunderland in 1967-68.

The Hornets have failed to score in their last eight away games in all competitions, since Andre Gray's goal at the Etihad on January 2nd. Only once in their history have they had a longer run of away games without a goal (10 between April and September 1972).

This will be the 500th Premier League game at Old Trafford - the ground has seen more goals than any other in the competition (1406).

Mourinho's only defeat on the closing day of a Premier League campaign came with Chelsea against Newcastle in 2005-06 (W3 D2 otherwise).

Alexis Sanchez has had a hand in six goals in his four Premier League games against Watford (3 goals, 3 assists).

Troy Deeney has scored three Premier League goals against Manchester United, all from the penalty spot. Only Steven Gerrard (4) has scored more spot-kicks against the Red Devils in the competition.

Merson's predictions

You'd think Man Utd would put on a show but when you watch them play sometimes... I think they'll gear up for the FA Cup final with a comfortable win here, though.

Watford have done their job - it's great achievement by them to stay up with ease - but United should have too much.
