WATFORD

THE PREDICTION
Claudio Ranieri returns to the ground where he achieved the impossible, lifting the Premier League as manager of 5000/1 outsiders Leicester. He comes with the aim of taking three points away from King Power Stadium and his Watford side will no doubt be full of confidence following that beating of Man Utd. Leicester have proven very inconsistent all throughout the season so far and the fans will no doubt be expecting a strong attacking performance here. Watford however, have shown themselves capable of racking up some big scores under Ranieri, netting five against Everton at Goodison Park and of course the four most recently over Man Utd. When taking this into account the shrewd play here may well be backing both teams to score in what should be an exciting contest.
Tip: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
