Comments:

League position: 7th Jamie Vardy's penalty was the 300th goal scored by Leicester City in their home games in the Premier League (played 223). Riyad Mahrez had now scored in each of his last five Premier League appearances against Watford. The Foxes had now won two of their last seven games in the Premier League (lost three).

Comments:

League position: 10th Manager Marco Silva was sacked on the day after this game. Watford were now on their longest run without a clean sheet in all competitions since October 2016 (12 games). This was the Hornets' 100th game in the Premier League since returning to the competition in 2015-16, and the first of the 100 when goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes had failed to start. Only Stoke City (18) had now gone trailed in more Premier League games so far in this season than Watford (17).
