Watford dug deep to defeat a good Leicester side on Tuesday and look attractively priced to follow up with a home victory over Swansea, who play their first match under new manager Carlos Carvalhal.

The Swans may already have one eye on next season with the appointment of Carvalhal, who twice took Sheffield Wednesday into the Sky Bet Championship playoffs.

They look in a desperate situation at the foot of the table and may struggle to cope with the Hornets, who have been getting key players back from injury and suspension.
