Watford come to this game with a 5-0 loss at Liverpool, to put an end to the three straight games without losing in this competition. We emphasize that the hosts make a very positive Premier League and follow quietly at the top of the standings. In this home match, the coach should adopt a strategy similar to the last game, namely the 4-4-2, privileging the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks: Roberto Pereyra is the main game organizer, being this owner of great quality of pass and vision of game. Forward Deeney is Watford's top scorer with 7 goals scored. There are no major absences for this game.

In this match against Watford, the debut of coach Brendan Rodgers on the team's bench, Leicester are expected to play in the 4-3-3, privileging the defensive organization and the direct balls to Vardy: this player is very competent to finish. On the other hand, Maddison is the great organizer of the offensive process, being this player owner of great technical quality and vision of game.
