Team News: Leicester City unchanged for Watford clash

Leicester City are unchanged from their victory at Bournemouth as they look for a 10th straight league win at home to Watford.

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson keeps faith with the same starting lineup that faced Bournemouth as his side go in search of a 10th straight league win against Watford.

That means last week's match-winner, Kevin Phillips, must make do with a place on the bench for the Foxes, while centre-back Ignasi Miquel again misses out after failing to shake off a thigh problem.

Watford boss Giuseppe Sannino is again without midfielder Lewis McGugan and Almen Abdi through injury, while Essaid Belkalem is a long-term absentee for the Hornets.

With Queens Park Rangers not playing until Monday night, Leicester have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Championship to 13 points.

Meanwhile, Watford are looking to build on last weekend's victory over Brighton, only their second win in 16 games.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; De Laet, Morgan, Wasilewski, Konchesky, Knockaert, James, Drinkwater, Dyer, Nugent, Vardy

Watford: Almunia; Cassetti, Angella, Ekstrand; Faraoni, Battocchio, Tozser, Murray, Anya; Deeney, Forestieri
