Watford’s push for a top-six place will see them come up against runaway Championship leaders Leicester. This matchday 31 will be played at the Vicarage Road on Saturday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 11th with 41 points while the visitors are top of the table with 72 points. Watford are four points behind top-six but need to get their act together to have any hopes of play-off qualification. They lost 1-0 to Cardiff last time out which was just their second defeat across seven league games. Yet, four of those were draws and they won just once during that sequence. Worryingly enough, Watford have lost three and drawn one of their last four home league games posing questions over their chances here.

Leicester are 11 points ahead of Southampton after last weekend, having played a game lesser. The Foxes are running away with the league title, and are coming on the back of three straight wins. In fact, going back in time, they have won 11 of their last 14 competitive matches losing just once in that sequence. In the Championship, they have lost only one of their last 14 games, winning ten and drawing three. Their away form needs some tweaking though, as it has been below par recently. Leicester have won just four of their last eight away league games, drawing and losing two each in that sequence.
