Vardy named Premier League Player of the Month
Last Meeting (Premier League): Leicester moved up to fifth place in the Premier League with a narrow win from a dominant performance against Watford at Filbert Street in August 1999.
It is also notable that the Hornets have won just one of their last eight away trips to Leicester. He has been in stunning form this season, scoring seven goals already in the Premier League so far. Leicester City for me are a team involved in games with goals, while Watford are not so much and they do defend well I think Leicester with Vardy and Mahrez will score and I think that Watford will also score against this Leicester defence.
The 28-year-old recently became the first Englishman to score in nine consecutive Premier League games and is now just one game short of equalling Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of 10.

Leicester have a strong home record – their only defeats in 12 at home have been against title-chasing Chelsea last term and Arsenal – while Watford have one loss in six away from Vicarage Road, at Manchester City. Most importantly, Ranieri inherited forwards Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.
Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes was at fault for both Leicester goals, allowing Ngolo Kante’s shot to slip through his hands for the opener and then bringing down Vardy for the penalty.
The Algerian worldwide sits behind just Barcelona’s Neymar, however, stands alone as the top-rated player in the Premier League after the opening 12 games.
But who were the star performers on a weekend on which Spurs were denied victory in the north London derby, Jamie Vardy found the net for the ninth game in a row and Jurgen Klopp was left dismayed by exodus of fans at Anfield?
“It is one thing to play for Leicester and another to play at the highest level”.
Manchester United kept up the pressure on the pacesetters when a terrific goal from youngster Jesse Lingard helped them to a 2-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion, putting the Old Trafford club within a point of the leaders.
Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy has branded reports linking him with a January move to Real Madrid as “speculation”.
“We have to accept in football sometimes there are accidents and in this case we are not expecting it, but finally we support and love this player”. They I’m sure will get better.
Under former Chelsea manager Ranieri, Leicester has placed the emphasis on attack, throwing caution to the wind this season and has really gone for the opposition in every game.
Manager Claudio Ranieri has said he’s in charge of a squad of friends with an absolutely fantastic attitude to their work.
When asked about the rumours, Ranieri said: “That’s good because it means we have very good players”.
“Look at Riyad (Mahrez)”. Leicester will hope to keep hold of their wonder boy and hold off the advances of other clubs who will be desperate to sign this exciting young prospect.
