📋 Team News: Leicester City
Yunus Akgün (unknown injury) and Callum Doyle (Knee injury) will be missing for Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca.
It’s our opinion that The Foxes should line up in a 4-3-3 formation for the game featuring Mads Hermansen, Ricardo Pereira, Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard, James Justin, Hamza Choudhury, Harry Winks, K. Dewsbury-Hall, Issahaku Fatawu, Jamie Vardy and Stephy Mavididi.
📰 Team News: Watford
Thanks to a completely injury-free squad available to select from, the Watford manager Valérien Ismaël does not have any fitness concerns at all coming into this game.
We believe The Hornets will likely begin the game with a 4-3-3 system by sending out Ben Hamer, Ryan Andrews, Ryan Porteous, Wesley Hoedt, Jamal Lewis, Jake Livermore, Edo Kayembe, Ismaël Koné, Yaser Asprilla, Mileta Rajovic and Ken Sema.
🧠 Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Leicester City have it within them to get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
In contrast, Watford will be up against it getting on the scoresheet although we do reckon that they could well end up managing to get on the scoresheet, too.
We’re tipping a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for Leicester City at the end of the match.
