Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Watford v Leicester at Vicarage Road. We'll have build-up and team news over the next 45 minutes, followed by full text commentary.

Amrabat is booked for simulation, hopefully flopping into the box after a clash with Fuchs.

A hurried clearance falls to Deeney on the edge of the box, but his shot takes a touch off Simpson and arrows straight into the midriff of the keeper. That's a chance wasted.

Ranieri was off his seat and ready to celebrate as Vardy turned that shot goalward, but the rippling was in the side-netting for once.

Mahrez and Vardy combine on the break and the former's cross is turned an inch the wrong side of the post by the top-scorer.

Leicester are just pure energy. How on earth do they keep on producing this, week after week? It's remarkable.

The draw in the North London derby earlier today has given Leicester a real opportunity. Win and they have a cushion between themselves and Spurs at the top of the table, with Arsenal and Man City trailing even further behind. No wonder there is a slight air of desperation about their performance here.

A Watford free-kick is over-hit and sails harmlessly into the arms of Schmeichel.

Managers who never learn from their mistakes probably help with that...

Mahrez runs the whole length of the field, but is crowded out inside the box as Watford's defenders swarm around him.

Vardy drills a snap-shot wide of the far post as he looks to catch out Gomes with an early effort.

If you were to ask European audiences what a Premier League game felt like, they'd probably come up with something like this. It's high-energy and end-to-end, with passes not really sticking in midfield and the crowd roaring for their teams to 'get if forward quickly',

An Ake header clips the crossbar as it flies narrowly over the bar. Watford aren't just going to roll over and give the three points to the league leaders.

Kante is a surprise name on the team-sheet for Leicester, returning early from his injury to give the Foxes a boost. He gives away a sloppy foul in the centre of the park, but it's good to see him back.

If they win the league does it really matter, Kyle. This season is not going to happen again, so let's just enjoy it.

The energy in this Leicester side is remarkable. They have exploded out of the blocks and the home side are on the ropes.

Gomes can only palm a save into the heart of the penalty area, but he gets lucky as a ricochet between Okazaki and Ake flies away from goal.
