Just two points currently separate the sides heading into matchday 13 of the Premier League season and Claudio Ranieri’s outfit will be travelling to Leicester with confidence, buoyed by their 4-1 home victory over Manchester United last time out.
The pair are meeting in the top flight for the first time since the Hornets’ promotion from the Sky Bet Championship at the end of 2020/21 and ahead of the clash, here’s a look at the key matchday details…
Who's starring on LCFC TV?
From 12:30pm, live coverage of the clash, accessible for free on LCFC.com and @LCFC social media, begins with presenter Dan Bates and Leicester favourites Matt Elliott and Iwan Roberts. The former Foxes duo will provide 90 minutes of pre-match news and analysis ahead of kick-off.
Then, with 10 minutes to go, at around 1:50pm, LCFC Radio hands over to Chris Parrott and Gerry Taggart in the King Power Stadium pressbox for live and free match coverage. Please note, in-play commentary can only be found on the dedicated LCFC.com Match Centre, but remains free to air.
After the clash is complete, broadcasting returns to the social media, as Elliott, Roberts and Taggart all provide their verdict on City's latest outing.

What happened last time against the Hornets?
In City’s most recent home encounter against Watford, second half goals from Jamie Vardy and James Maddison secured a 2-0 victory on Filbert Way in December 2019.
Two injury-time strikes at Vicarage Road meant it finished all square in the reverse fixture in June 2020, as the Premier League returned after a COVID-19-enforced hiatus. Ben Chilwell’s goal was cancelled out by Craig Dawson’s even later equaliser to see both sides settle for a point.
When can I catch match highlights?
A two-minute highlights package is set to be available for Digital Members to watch for free on LCFC TV, via the Club's official website (free sign-up) approximately two hours after the full-time whistle.
Short clips are then set to be posted on Leicester City's official social media channels from 10pm on Saturday evening, ahead of extended match highlights being available to watch on LCFC.com from midnight (12am) on Sunday.
All times GMT unless stated otherwise.
