Leicester City will be bidding to extend their winning run to four games in all competitions, when they travel to Vicarage Road to take on Watford in an EFL Championship fixture on Saturday. The Foxes are heading into the match on the back of a dominant 5-0 league-victory away to Stoke City at the weekend, while the hosts suffered a 3-0 defeat at Southampton in a FA Cup fourth round tie on Wednesday.

Watford are going through bit of a rough patch, having not tasted victory in their last five outings in all competitions, recording successive defeats versus Cardiff City (1-0) and Southampton in the league and FA Cup respectively in the period. The Hornets have won ten second tier games this season and their last success came away to Queens Park Rangers mid-way through last month. Despite the poor run of form Valerin Ismael’s men are just four points away from the top six and couple of positive results could possibly lift them up. With 16 games remaining, Watford are realistically very much alive in the race for the playoffs.
Leicester, on the other hand, suffered a slight dip in form when they were beaten 3-1 at Coventry City and then went on to share the points versus fellow promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town last month. However, Enzo Maresca’s men quickly bounced back with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Birmingham in the FA Cup, before securing back-to-back league-wins against the likes of Swansea City and Stoke City with an aggregate scoreline of 8-1. A brace each from Patson Daka and Jamie Vardy, and one effort from Kasey McAteer helped the Foxes earn all three points at Bet365 Stadium on Saturday and make it 23 wins from 30 second tier outings this term.
Watford probable starting lineup: Hamer, Andrews, Pollock, Hoedt, Lewis, Livermore, Martins, Kone, Chakvetadze, Asprilla, Dennis
Leicester City probable starting lineup: Hermansen, Pereira, Faes, Nelson, Doyle, Winks, Dewsbury-Hall, Fatawu, McAteer, Mavididi, Daka
