Leicester v Watford: match preview

This article is more than 5 years old

After a rather fortunate victory over Southampton in the Carabao Cup via penalties, Leicester go in search of their first home league win for more than two months. Watford, two points above, have lost momentum after a superb start and have scored once in their last three matches. Tom Cleverley could return for Watford after a lengthy absence and José Holebas, Sebastian Prödl and Daryl Janmaat are available again. Harry Maguire remains out for Leicester but is set to return to training next week. Stuart James
