Lots of reasons for revenge on Watford but I still see that playoff semi as being the one.
I thought that beating them 3-0 at Vicarage Road the following season, getting promoted in style, staying up through the Great Escape and then winning the League (the Premier League) was good enough revenge for more or less everything.

Except for Kermogant's penalty :)
 
Iheanacho would gain a lot of confidence from being involved today. Okazaki deserves the start but hopefully chance to give iheanacho a half hour.

Slightly changed my mind on the line up.

Schmeichel
Amartey Dragovic Maguire Chilwell
Ndidi Silva
Mahrez Okazaki Albrighton
Vardy

Could still easily be convinced about a back 3 to make best use of our defensive and attacking players , but we don't have the right right wing back for it as yet.
 
As above but I personally would opt for Iborra (or even James) over Silva today. Watford can be robust and I reckon Iborra is perhaps better suited (i.e. more used to it) at this point in time. Silva to come on if things are looking ok. I'd also be tempted to start with Gray (for Albrighton) Again with a possible switch later in the game. Agreed, Okazaki over Ineanacho but with a view for Ineanacho coming on for either Vardy or Shinji.

I can see Albrighton being used less and less in the starting line up. His work rate is undeniable, and he is an excellent crosser of the ball, but I'm not sure he's a calm enough player for Puel. Albrighton is a little prone to the fly-hack out of defence, and the rushed miss-hit crossfield ball. I think we're seeing the start of a new generation and we'll be seeing less of our loyal servants as a consequence.
 
Albrighton has been excellent recently
 
Schmeichel
Amartey
Maguire
Dragovic
Fuchs
Mahrez
Ndidi
Silva
Gray
Okazaki
Vardy

That's what I'd go for. I think Puel however will go for Chilwell over Fuchs and Iborra or James over Silva.
