Insights:
  • Leicester City haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
  • Watford have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their matches.

These are hustling days for the team playing at home, as they played only three days ago in the Europa League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Legia Warszawa, was also a home game here at King Power Stadium. The away team is better rested.
