Matches of the Week: Leicester City v Watford

The premier league seems wrapped up in regards to the the separation between 8 and 9, however Watford and Leicester will argue otherwise. Both currently looking to breach the top 6 teams, who look relaxed and unworried, Watford and Leicester have an important battle to see who will be the team to sneak into European action. Currently Burnley has taken as the silent underdog team, but Leicester and Watford offer a very competitive team that won't back down easily, and their stats show it.

Statistics based on last 5 matches

While most of the statistics are very close between the two, such as possession, number of cards, and goals conceded, Leicester significantly beats Watford in chances created and scoring goals, which is vital to becoming a European team. While Watford will still put up a good fight, Leicester should comfortably win this game with the amount of passing talent they have in Mahrez and Ndidi. I see many goals being scored in the fixture, so it will be interesting if Watford can improve their goal tally of recent weeks.

SCORE PREDICTION:

Leicester City 4 - 1 Watford
