Leicester City-Watford Preview

Watford's push to escape the drop continues with another pivotal match against a top-end club at what is expected to be an empty Vicarage Road on Saturday when they host Leicester City.

The closed stadium policy is expected to be enacted, with media reports stating this will be the case throughout all rungs of English football as part of a government response to combat the coronavirus. It is also believed ticket-holders will be allowed to stream coverage of matches at their house and that no pubs will broadcast games to help avoid congregations of people.

The move comes at a time when Hornets supporters were finding reasons to make their way to Vicarage Road to see Watford (6-9-14) attempt to make a great escape.
