Footymad preview History of the Leicester City v Watford fixture

Watford face a trip to Leicester City at Walkers Stadium on Monday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hornets will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 13 and win only 3 of the 25 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in April 2010, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a Championship match.
