Sports Mole previews the Championship playoff semi-final second leg tie between Watford and Leicester City.

Watford could make changes in attack as they look to overcome a one-goal deficit against Leicester City.

The Hornets suffered a narrow loss at the King Power Stadium on Thursday evening, which could prompt manager Gianfranco Zola to hand a starting place to Fernando Forestieri.

Zola could also recall striker Troy Deeney, after he sat out of the first leg through suspension.

Leicester have rediscovered some form in the past month after they looked in danger of missing out on the playoffs.

They now only need to avoid defeat at Vicarage Road to move into the playoff final, and boss Nigel Pearson is unlikely to tinker with his side after losing just one match in their last five.

Recent form

Watford: LLWWLL

Leicester City: DWDLWW

Possible starting lineups

Watford: Almunia; Doyley, Pudil, Cassetti, Ekstrand; Chalobah, Hogg, Anya, Abdi; Forestieri, Deeney

Leicester City: Schmeichel; De Laet, Morgan, M.Keane, Schlupp; King, Dyer, James, Knockaert; Nugent, Wood

Sports Mole says: 2-1
