Manuel Almunia returns in goal for Watford for the first leg of their Championship playoff semi-final against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Manuel Almunia has returned in goal for Watford for the first leg of their Championship playoff semi-final against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

The Spaniard was forced to miss Saturday's defeat against Leeds United - a result that saw the Hornets narrowly miss out on automatic promotion to the Premier League.

The visitors have made two further changes as Alexandre Geijo and Matej Vydra are both selected in attack by manager Gianfranco Zola.

Meanwhile, Leicester name an unchanged side from the one that secured their place in the playoffs with a dramatic victory over Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Leicester: Schmeichel; De Laet, Morgan, Keane, Schlupp; Knockaert, James, King, Dyer; Wood, Nugent
Subs: Logan, Konchesky, Drinkwater, Marshall, Vardy, Moore, Kane

Watford: Almunia; Doyley, Ekstrand, Cassetti; Anya, Abdi, Chalobah, Hogg, Pudil; Geijo, Vydra
Subs: Bond, Hall, Briggs, Eustace, Battocchio, Yeates, Forestieri
