Andreas Weimann replaces Marvin Sordell in Watford's only change against Leicester City this afternoon.

The hard-working Weimann came on for Sordell eight minutes into the second half on Saturday and did enough to secure a starting spot ahead of the Hornets' second leading scorer.

Other than that, it is the same 18-man squad which beat Barnsley at the weekend.

Leicester City make three changes as Japan international Yuki Abe replaces injured skipper Matt Oakley and strikers Yakubu and Diomansy Camara make way for Darius Vassell and Patrick Van Aanholt.

The Hornets are just one point above 12th-place Leicester, who beat Watford 4-1 in the last two fixtures between the sides at the Walkers Stadium.

Lloyd Doyley is making his 300th Watford start this afternoon and Don Cowie is making his 350th appearance.

Leicester City: Weale; Naughton, Bruma, Miguel Vitor, Mee; Gallagher, Abe, Wellens, Van Aanholt; King; Vassell.

Subs: Tunchev, Teixeira, Howard, Dyer, Berner, Yakubu, Smith.

Watford: Loach; Hodson, Mariappa, Taylor, Doyley; Eustace, Mingoia, Cowie; Deeney, Graham, Weimann.
