Match Preview:
That being said, the Foxes commenced their December duties brightly with a return of seven points across three games, however the East Midlanders suffered a major setback at Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon, whey they lost 4-1 to QPR. A quartet of first-half strikes for the hosts condemned Marti Cifuentes's troops to their seventh loss of the second-tier campaign, leaving them languishing in 13th position, four points adrift of Millwall in the playoffs. Despite losing just two of their 10 games at the King Power Stadium to date, Leicester only rank 17th in the division based on home form, although they managed a standout 3-1 success over Ipswich Town last time out in the East Midlands.

On the permanent books of sister club Udinese, Danish loanee Luca Kjerrumgaard bagged his seventh goal of the second-tier season in the second half last time out to secure a 1-0 victory over a stuttering Stoke side. In the midst of a four-game unbeaten run (W2 D2) and losing just one of their past 10 contests, Javi Gracia's side have jumped up to 10th position in the Championship rankings, only three points behind Millwall in sixth.
Only league leaders Coventry (26) have collected more points than Watford's 25 from home matches so far, meaning that the Hornets' away form is the clear culprit for their failure to sit in the playoffs at Christmas, with the Hertfordshire outfit earning a mere seven points on the road.

Match Prediction: Leicester City 2-1 Watford
After a shocking afternoon in the capital last time out, Leicester need a winning response on Boxing Day to keep their promotion dreams alive. Watford are masters of their own fate at Vicarage Road, but their struggles on the road are likely to continue in the East Midlands.
