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.
