Watford face a trip to Leicester City at Walkers Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 23 games played, Hornets have recorded 3 wins, and Leicester City have come away with 11 victories.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was 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.
