Here, Press Association Sport takes a numerical look at the showpiece fixture.

20 – goals for City in the tournament so far, winning 7-0 against Rotherham, 5-0 against Burnley, 4-1 at Newport, 3-2 over Swansea and 1-0 against Brighton.

9 – Watford have scored only nine, though did not concede a goal until their quarter-final against Crystal Palace.
