Team News: Jamie Vardy, Harry Maguire back in for Leicester City against Watford

Vardy, Maguire back in for Leicester

Jamie Vardy and Harry Maguire will return for Leicester City as the Foxes host Watford at the King Power Stadium this afternoon.

The duo were rested alongside Kasper Schmeichel, Wilfred Ndidi and Marc Albrighton for the FA Cup replay win over Fleetwood Town in midweek.

Ben Chilwell also returns at full-back after picking up - and serving - a one-match suspension in the 0-0 draw with Chelsea last weekend.

For Watford, Orestis Karnezis replaces Heurelho Gomes in goal due to a back spasm suffered by the latter, while Andre Gray replaces Troy Deeney up top.

In midfield, Roberto Pereyra replaces Tom Cleverley, who has a hamstring issue, while in defence, Jose Holebas misses out altogether due to sickness.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Amartey, Dragović, Maguire, Chilwell; James, Ndidi, Albrighton, Mahrez; Okazaki; Vardy. Subs: Hamer, Fuchs, Benalouane, Gray, Silva, Iheanacho, Diabate

Watford: Karnezis; Janmaat, Wague, Kabasele, Zeegelaar; Doucoure, Watson; Carrillo, Pereyra, Richarlison; Deeney Subs: Bachmann, Prödl, Mariappa, Capoue, Sinclair, Gray, Okaka
