Leicester City v Watford: match preview

This article is more than 6 years old

With 40 points apiece on the board, there is little to choose between these two clubs in the league table, yet everything points to a win for the outgoing Premier League champions. With Jamie Vardy scoring freely, Leicester are marching on under Craig Shakespeare and targeting a top-10 finish. Watford have similar ambitions but have lost their past four away matches without scoring and may start to get a little twitchy if they are not mathematically safe after this weekend. Stuart James
