Team News: Christian Fuchs returns for Leicester City

Christian Fuchs returns for Leicester

Leicester City have recalled left-back Christian Fuchs into their starting XI for their home tie against Watford in the Premier League.

The Austrian defender is the only alteration from the side that won 3-2 at West Bromwich Albion seven days ago.

Meanwhile, Watford remain unchanged for the third successive game as Quique Sanchez Flores keeps faith with the same side that soared to a 2-0 win over West Ham United last weekend.

There were fears that top goalscorer Odion Ighalo would miss the trip after hobbling off in the latter stages of the victory at Vicarage Road, but the Nigerian forward lines up alongside Troy Deeney in a familiar-looking two-pronged attack.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Albrighton, Kante, Drinkwater, Schlupp; Mahrez; Vardy Subs: Schwarzer, King, Okazaki, Ulloa, Dyer, Benalouane, Inler

Watford: Gomes; Nyom, Cathcart, Britos, Ake; Abdi, Capoue, Watson, Anya; Deeney, Ighalo Subs: Arlauskis, Prodl, Paredes, Holebas, Guedioura, Ibarbo, Diamanti
