Leicester look to avoid sting in the tail at Hornetspublished at 14:40 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February
Watford v Leicester (15:00 GMT)
Leicester start the day 11 points clear at the top and with a comfy-looking 12-point cushion in the automatic promotion spots, but boss Enzo Maresca is sticking to the tried and trusted managerial gospel of focusing on their next game only.
And that’s a trip to 11th-placed Watford who have play-off ambitions of their own, sitting four points outside the top six in a sardine-like packed mid-table.
Valerian Ismael’s side badly need to kick-start their season after a mid-winter slump, which has brought them just one win in seven league matches and an FA Cup exit to Southampton in midweek.
In contrast, Leicester have won their last three, scoring 11 goals in the process.
If the Hornets want to take anything out of the game they’ll have to stop the revitalised Patson Daka who has six goals in his last nine league matches, including a brace in their 5-0 demolition of Stoke last weekend.
The Foxes also have the best away record in the top four tiers of English football, with 11 wins and 35 points from 15 outings. So, no pressure.
