N’di’di, Yunus and Praet all confirmed as available for tomorrow.
 
Leicester City have won three of their last four league games against Watford (D1) since a 2-1 defeat in March 2019.


Watford have lost their last six away league games against Leicester, conceding at least two goals in every defeat.


After winning 13 of their first 14 Championship games this season (L1), Leicester City have since lost their last two. Indeed, the Foxes haven’t lost three in a row at this level since April 2013.


Among players to play at least 250 minutes in the Championship this season, no player has created more chances in open play per 90 minutes than Watford’s Giorgi Chakvetadze (3.1).


Leicester City duo Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Stephy Mavididi have created 18 chances for one another in the Championship this season (nine each), with only Leeds United’s Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville creating more for one another in the division (20).
 
Because he's really not a great example of an attacking midfielder.

But he's a million miles better than the lad from Chelsea
He's been exceptional this season. I don't know what more you could have wanted from him.
 
Big Hamza. Which one will turn up? The one who looks fairly solid and links up play really well or the one that charges around like a bull on speed before breaking someone's spine?

Think he'll be raring to go against Watford - so probably the latter.
 
Now that we have almost everyone fit, it will be interesting to see who gets left out of the 20 altogether today. McAteer and Cannon should be fully fit now. Praet, Akgun and Ndidi are also back.

With only Doyle and Winks missing, and with Nelson and Marcal probably sliding back to the U21s, that leaves two players that will have to sit it out today - alongside the obvious candidates like the extra keepers.

At the start of the season, it was Souttar and Daka that were left out. Both have been in matchday squads for some time now so will they hang in there or not? Both have played and are doing well for their international sides and on long contracts.

When Winks is back on Wednesday, we'll probably have another excess player too.

I want to see room for the likes of Alves and Braybrooke to come into the squad soon as well. We're going to have to make some decisions about players that we'll be keen to move on in January as we still have far too many.
