Abdi expecting exciting affair when Watford host league leaders Leicester

Watford midfielder Almen Abdi says Premier League leaders Leicester City hold no fears for the Hornets.

Watford host the first-placed Foxes at Vicarage Road on Saturday and Abdi is eagerly anticipating the clash following his side's 2-1 defeat at King Power Stadium earlier in the season.

In the wake of Wednesday night's narrow 1-0 loss at Manchester United, Abdi told Hornets Player HD: "They're fighting for the title and we play at home so it should be exciting. At home, I think we can beat anyone and we will try again on Saturday.

"At Leicester we were very unlucky and played very well. But now we forget this game and focus on the next one.

"We go home now and try and recover as quickly as possible. We take these positives into the next game and try to take the three points."
