Watford vs Leicester

Tall order this for Watford, but with home advantage and the scalp of Chelsea already this season they're going to be fancying their chances. Leicester take the form slot, leaving Watford with a start of +2.

Both sides lining up in very similar looking 4-3-3's although the playing style and execution is different, Lesta dominate the slots for the XI and subsequently for the strength of the bench and changes made.

Both sides are set for high tempo attacking football which should be great to see and LC as always is a great tactician Watford would be in this game, But I feel that matching Leicester man for man with such a high tempo would leave them vulnerable to what is effectively a front-five from Rof.

RoF - I quite liked this " In midfield, the trio narrow in front with the cm opposite play dropping behind, allowing the other two to press with cover. Closing down the space, narrowing to the side of play. Win the ball back quickly before they can get anywhere"

I do really like the balance of this Leicester side and it has a lot of firepower and a tonne of pace, the once concern, (no offence to LC) against stronger sides I'm not sure that midfield offers enough help to Rodri, I know they have great work-rate but I'm not sure they'll put their foot in enough when needed. but can only judge whats in front and today it's enough, more than enough.

Slots went in Leicester's favour overall but did the fruity? or do Watford add Leicester's scalp to the collection?

City vs Newcastle

A tight affair, Newcastle packed the centre of the field making it congested and difficult for either side. Two even teams player wise, was noticeable that Toon were missing a few key players.

I think the City midfield trio with the back 3 behind them, and pace ahead would’ve won the battle in the middle of the park.

I thought Toon lacked creativity in midfield, and would’ve struggled to get the ball to the front three in dangerous spaces against a solid City. Although the wide players were to stay wide initially, thought there was a lack of natural width and was a bit rigid.
Difficult to criticise the City tactics, I like the balance and front two, think they could have got at the Toon defence with Matip and Tanganga particularly. Aarons probably the only player that could be improved on and could have a better ball playing middle cb, but get having Kamara left for pace.
I liked Newcastle’s subs going for it, City kept things fresh.
City went into fruity as favourites and spun out winners.

City 2-1 Newcastle
Lukaku (Werner), Bernardo (Gosens); Lewa (Pedro G)
