Moussa Sissoko has become a fundamental piece of Watford's midfield, the Frenchman has played 1,601 minutes in the campaign and assisted on one occasion, he also has 3 yellow cards and in most of the matches he has stood out for being the captain of the team. For this match, Sissoko will have to be more than that because they have to get the three points if they aspire to get out of the relegation zone.

Vicarage Road, a soccer stadium located in Watford (Hertfordshire, England), which hosts the home soccer matches of Watford F.C. of the Premier League. Its current capacity can accommodate 21,577 fans.

The first game under floodlights at Vicarage Road was played in 1953, when the lights were installed above the Main Stand. These were replaced in 1960, with four pylons being built at the corners of the ground. Currently the floodlights are mounted on top of the Vicarage Road and Rookery Positions.

The Leicester City team was eliminated from the European and local competitions, also, in the league they are in the mid-table zone and are no longer an option to fight for a place in the European tournament since they cannot aspire to fight for a place at least in the UEFA Conference League. Likewise, Leicester City is one of the teams with one of the weakest defenses in the Premier League, so it will be the priority to go for reinforcements in the saga to strengthen the Foxes' defensive line.

Watford will have to get their act together for the end of the championship as they are in danger of finishing in the last places of the general table, so if that were the case, the Golden boys would be back in the English Silver League. They are currently in 18th place with 22 points from 6 wins, 4 draws and 26 defeats so far this season. Likewise, in the statistics, they average a total of 32 goals for and 70 against, a situation that leaves them with a -38 goal difference in their position.

The 2021-22 season is beginning to reach the final round in England, the overall table is beginning to tighten with the closing of the championship, with it, the drama of relegation begins to take shape in the last teams in the table. For Watford, these are their last matches as a Premier League team, on the other hand, Leicester City is in mid-table positions and will be looking to close their participation in the competition in the best way possible.

The Watford vs Leicester City match will be played at Vicarage Road, in Watford, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 9:00 pm ET.
