Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo has been compared with Argentine forward Kun Aguero ahead of the Watford - Manchester City clash.

So how do City and Watford’s main forwards measure up in the Premier League this campaign?
Obviously the stats are difficult to compare precisely because Kun has played seven games less than the Hornets’ in-form Nigerian, but the figures make interesting reading nonetheless...
