My tip: Leicester vs Watford
I’m going to rely on the bad shape that Marco Silva is going through, Watford coming after four consecutive defeats, losing to the Burnley, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Manchester City teams.
At the same time, Watford has some very important absences, especially in the defensive compartment, which have contributed quite a bit to the results of this team over the last 2 months.
Leicester managed to lead either the break or the final in 9 out of 23 games this season, being unbeaten by Watford on his own field in April 2013, when he won 3 wins and a draw in the 4 straight duels from “King Power”.
