Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez fired Leicester to a routine 2-0 win over Watford as Claude Puel's powers of recovery continued.
Winger Mahrez - linked with a January move - maintained his fine form with a third goal in six games after Vardy's first-half penalty put the Foxes ahead.
Leicester moved up to seventh in the Premier League while Watford's struggles continued with Marco Silva's side having won just once in 11 games.
The Foxes still needed a fine Harry Maguire block on Andre Gray to clinch victory but boss Puel has now lost just four of his 18 games in charge.
