After overturning a flawless run for the Reds in the league, all eyes will be at the Vicarage Road as side Leicester City visits the Hornets. The match schedules for 14th March with kickoff at 15:30 GMT.
A 3-0 thrashing of the Reds was enough to taint a flawless 44 unbeaten streak for the Reds at the hands of the Hornets. A 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace, however, was enough to push the side close to the relegation battle. The team survives due to a goal difference. Yet, a loss at the Vicarage Road will steep their hopes of a stay at the league.
Coach Sanchez Flores will be looking to build up steam from the Reds win to ensure the side remains in the league. The win over the Reds is the only win for the Hornets in their past five matches. It remains an uphill task, especially with the current form of the Foxes.
The foxes registered a 4-0 thrashing to Aston Villa to secure their stay at the third position in the table. Brendan Rodgers overturned the club’s luck after two games losing streak to Norwich City. The side remains with the hope of Champions League football in the coming season.
