Danny Drinkwater is passed fit to start in Leicester City's trip to Watford this afternoon.

Danny Drinkwater has been passed fit to start in Leicester City's trip to Watford this afternoon.

The 26-year-old was forced to pull out of the England squad due to a rib injury but is able to take his place in midfield today as Claudio Ranieri effects three changes to the side that fell to West Bromwich Albion before the international break.

Jamie Vardy, Marc Albrighton and Daniel Amartey are all promoted from the bench, while Ahmed Musa and Joshua King drop to join the substitutes and Islam Slimani is not included.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel remains out thanks to a broken hand as Ron-Robert Zieler again takes the gloves, while Demarai Gray starts on the bench having overcome a calf strain.

The hosts are without the suspended Jose Holebas while Odion Ighalo finds himself on the bench as fit-again Sebastian Prodl and Juan Zuniga come into the starting XI.

Heurelho Gomes is able to take his place between the sticks after recovering from a knee injury picked up in the side's 6-1 defeat to Liverpool.

Troy Deeney leads the line as he goes in search of his hundredth goal for the Hornets.

Watford: Gomes; Kaboul, Prodl, Britos; Janmaat, Behrami, Capoue, Zuniga; Amrabat; Deeney
Subs: Pantilimon, Mariappa, Watson, Guedioura, Sinclair, Ighalo, Okaka

Leicester City: Zieler; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Mahrez, Drinkwater, Amartey, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy
Subs: Hamer, Hernandez, Musa, King, Schlupp, Gray, Wasilewski
