Match Preview

Watford locked down a critical three points for their season on Tuesday night as Edoardo Bove's injury-time strike put the icing on a 3-1 home win over play-off contenders Wrexham. The Hornets are now five points behind the Red Dragons in sixth place heading into the final eight league games.

Leicester, meanwhile, are in serious trouble as they travel to Vicarage Road. The Foxes gave up an early lead against QPR last weekend, conceding three times in 15 minutes in a brutal home defeat. Gary Rowett's men have slumped to 23rd in the standings with just one win in their last 12.
