History of the Leicester City v Watford fixture

Leicester City prepare to entertain Watford at Walkers Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 23 games played, Foxes have recorded 11 wins, and Watford have come away with 3 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Walkers Stadium was two seasons ago, in November 2005, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Leicester City's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Foxes have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Watford's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Hornets have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Leicester City find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 1 points from their 2 matches. Watford are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola Championship, and have accumulated 6 points from the 2 games they have played so far.
