Premier League
3pm Saturday

Watford's players appear to have downed tools since getting to 40 points and are likely to be swept aside by Leicester at the King Power.

There was a concern that Leicester's performances would drop off after their Champions League exit but Craig Shakespeare's side were committed and well-organised in last Saturday's 1-0 victory at West Brom.

The Foxes have been playing with plenty of energy in recent home fixtures and Watford do not look in the mood to match them.

Recommendation
Leicester -1 on Asian handicap
