Join us as we preview the English Football League Championship clash between the Foxes and the Hornets at King Power Stadium. This is sure to be a keenly contested match as the two clubs are similarly placed in the tier two table. Not to mention Watford and Leicester City having loftier ambitions than where they currently reside. I can't see this one ending in a stalemate; nor an away victory to be honest.
I have made my predictions; if you'd like to read that piece, which includes statistics and history of the two clashing, please click here. But, of course, you should stick around to finish this article first of all! Today (December 26, or Boxing Day) we have plenty for Leicester's Blue Army fan base (as well as any 'Orns we may have in). So let's get started with no time to waste with the fixture.

Injuries and a consequent predicted Foxes XI
To begin with when considering the fitness of the East Midlands side, manager Marti Cifuentes cannot call upon a few of his personnel. Centre back Harry Souttar is still out after a year on the sidelines. Midfielder Boubakary Soumare won't be involved. Full back Victor Kristiansen won't be in action either.
However, thankfully thrilling winger Jeremy Monga made a brief comeback against Queens Park Rangers and is ready to start. So too is attacker/midfield man Aaron Ramsey.
My expectations for Cifuentes' starting team is therefore below; lining up in a 4-3-3 formation:
Jakub Stolarczyk; Luke Thomas, Wout Faes (this spot could be Caleb Okoli if deemed fully fit), Ben Nelson, Ricardo Pereira; Oliver Skipp, Jordan James; Stephy Mavididi; Aaron Ramsey, Abdul Fatawu; Jordan Ayew.
