WAT Vs LEI Dream 11 Prediction: Watford Vs Leicester City. A crucial encounter awaits today’s opponents albeit for different reasons.
For Watford, defeating league leaders Liverpool 3-0 was undoubtedly the highest point of their season. The display came out of nothing, a performance in the midst of a horrendous losing spree which has seen the club be embroiled in the regulation battle this season.
It was a performance which sent ripples across the showpiece league, a performance which saw Liverpool’s designs of going unbeaten this season fall flat on their face. It was an accomplishment much hailed, a performance deserving of all the laurels owing to the manner in which the relegation slumped side completely wiped the floor with Liverpool.
However, the result did leave a larger impact on Watford with the side reverting to losing ways immediately after the result. The side fell to a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in its last outing before the league was halted, a result which left them lingering right next to the relegation zone.
Probable Winner
Winless in four encounters in the league, Leicester City’s 4-0 win right before the league break off was a much needed one. The result brought them right in the mix for a spot in the top 4, a performance which emoted towards the side’s emphatic brand of attacking football.
It’s a performance they’ll be looking to emulate against a defensively weakened Watford side, a match we see swinging in the visiting side’s favour.

Goal-Keeper
Ben Foster from Watford will be our side’s goal-keeper for the upcoming contest. The shot stopper has been the only source of solace for the side this season in defence, a name who has hit the roof with his resilliance and resolve infront of the post.
Defenders
Although he’s yet to establish himself as one of the finer defensive prospects in the league this season, Ben Chilwell is slowly starting to make a name for himself. His expertise when marauding up the park and providing to the side’s attacking sorties have seen him catch Chelsea’s eyes with the club in for the leftback this season.
He’s going to be assisted by James Justin with the two integral components of providing the side’s attaching gameplan with much needed width. The two find company in CB Caglar Soyuncu, a player under whose tutelage the club has risen in stature as a defensive side.
Midfielders
Hitting a hattrick right before Coronavirus ended up stalling proceedings in the league, Harvey Barnes showed why there’s so much hue and cry over him. The Leicester City player has been in engrossing touch this season, a name who has established himself as a mainstay of the side’s attacking gameplan.
He also has the six assists to make him a must have pick from the side with James Maddison who has the 6 goals being brought in to give him company. Watford on the other hand will be represented by Ismaila Sarr, a name who with his 5 goals and three assists has emerged as one of the brighter spots in a languishing season for the club.
Abdoulaye Doucore also comes in from the side owing to his penchant for the goals and assist with CDM Etienne Capoue completing the trio of picks from the side.
Strikers
Watford’s striker, Troy Deeney was reluctant to play once again in the league owing to fears of Coronavirus being on a rampant run but he’s finally decided to ply his skill set. The team’s top scorer with the 6 goals and 2 assists, he made for a must have pick for today.
Elsewhere, we are also going to be moving in for the visiting team’s top scorer with Leicester City seeing 17 goal man Vardy make his way into our side.
Captain And Vice-Captain
The 17 goals for Vardy see him captain our side while James is the vice-captain.
