There are several English Premier League fixtures to be played on Sunday the 28th of November including the meeting between Leicester City and Watford.
The match will be played at the King Power Stadium and the hosts begin the weekend in 12th place on 15 points while the visitors are in 16th place on 13 points.
Leicester City come into the match on the back of a 3-1 win over Legia Warsaw in the Europa League on Thursday night.
That result means The Foxes are assured of at least the Europa Conference League preliminary knockout round but still have work to do in the final fixture to secure a place in the knockout stages of the Europa League.
It was an important victory for Leicester City who had failed to win any of their previous 4 fixtures in all competitions. They were defeated by Arsenal and Chelsea at home in the Premier League and were held to a draw by Leeds United away from home.
Home form in the Premier League shows Leicester City have recorded just a single victory from their last 5 league games. However, they have had some tough home matches in the Premier League including Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
Trends show Leicester City have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 12 games in all competitions. They have conceded 2 or more goals in each of their last 4 home Premier League matches.
Watford make the trip to the King Power Stadium having beat Manchester United 4-1 at home in the Premier League last weekend. It was a fantastic result for The Hornets and an important victory considering they lost their previous 2 league games, 1-0 at home against Southampton and 1-0 at Arsenal.
Watford have shown some signs of improvement when playing away from home in the Premier League and they have won 2 of their last 4 matches. The victories have come at Norwich City and Everton, with Watford scoring a combined total of 8 goals in those two games.
However, Watford have trouble defending when playing away from home and they have conceded goals in each of their last 14 away Premier League matches,
Team news and Leicester City continue without the injured trio of Ricardo Pereira, Youri Tielemans, and Wesley Fofana. James Justin is back in training but is yet to return to the team following a serious injury.
Watford have a significant injury list including Nicolas N'Koulou, Francisco Sierralta, Kwadwo Baah, Ken Sema, Christian Kabasele, and Oghenekaro Etebo. Ismaïla Sarr is a doubt due to a knee problem.
Both teams have been conceding plenty of goals in the Premier League this season and we expect to see goals at both ends of the pitch in this game. However, if Leicester City perform to their best, they should have too much for Watford and could come out on top with over 2.5 goals scored.
