73'
Watford are moving the ball with a lot of pace which is causing some of their passes to become messy and allow Leicester to win back possession.

54'
The Watford fans and manager aren't happy with the referee after Deulofeu goes down in a challenge with Tielemans as they feel they should've had a free-kick. There wasn't a lot of contact though and it did look like the forward went down quite easily.

HALF-TIME: WATFORD 1-0 LEICESTER CITY.
45' +1

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League match between Watford and Leicester City at Vicarage Road.
WATFORD STARTING XI (4-4-2): Ben Foster; Jose Holebas, Craig Cathcart, Adrian Mariappa, Daryl Janmaat; Roberto Pereyra, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Will Hughes; Troy Deeney, Gerard Deulofeu.
WATFORD SUBS: Heurelho Gomes, Isaac Success, Andre Gray, Domingos Quina, Tom Cleverley, Christian Kabasele, Adam Masina.
Brendan Rodgers is taking charge of his first Leicester game today against the side where he started his managerial career, but his team don't come into the match in the best form. They have won just one of their last seven league games (D1 L5), but that victory came in their most recent outing when they beat Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1. Watford, on the other hand, have lost just two of their last 12 matches in all competitions (W6 D4), with both those defeats coming against 'big six' opposition.
LEICESTER CITY STARTING XI (3-4-2-1): Kasper Schmeichel; Harry Maguire, Wes Morgan, Jonny Evans; Ben Chilwell, Wilfred Ndidi, Youri Tielemans, Ricardo Pereira; Harvey Barnes, James Maddison; Jamie Vardy.
LEICESTER CITY SUBS: Danny Ward, Demarai Gray, Kelechi Iheanacho, Caglar Soyuncu, Christian Fuchs, Rachid Ghezzal, Nampalys Mendy.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Watford need to find a way to get their forward players into the game a little bit more as they didn't create too many clear cut chances after their goal. Leicester struggled to get into the final third during the first half and they will need to improve in that area in order to score a goal that will draw them level in this match.
Watford remain in eighth in the Premier League table after that win, but do go back level on points with Wolves who only remain ahead of them due to their superior goal difference. Leicester miss out on the chance to go back into the top half of the table and Rodgers will be hoping they can bounce back quickly as they now turn their attention to their game against Fulham next weekend.
