Capping off the day’s entertainment, Watford and Leicester City cross swords at Vicarage Road. The former have picked up just two wins since Gameweek 18, while the latter know a win in Hertforshire would secure the top spot till the next round of fixtures.
Watford are in dire need of a fillip on the attacking end, given that they ranked bottom for goals (two) and shots on target (eight) across the previous four Gameweeks. Moreover, only Norwich City recorded a worse shot accuracy (18.8%) than the Hornets (20%) during that time frame. On a more positive note, only the two Merseyside clubs – who both sat out Gameweek 27 – conceded fewer goals than Watford (three).
Training our sights on the league leaders, they accrued seven goals and the joint-most big chances (13) across the last four Gameweeks. Furthermore, they fashioned the fifth-most key passes (42) and the third-most shots inside the box (39). With regards to their defensive efforts, the Foxes limited their adversaries to five goals. However, the Hornets will be emboldened to hear that only West Bromwich Albion permitted more shots inside the box (53) than Claudio Ranieri’s troupe (48).
