Pearson: Leicester match 'is tight'

Speaking on Sky Sports Nigel Pearson the manager of Leicester City said the club's match against Watford today 'is tight.'

He said: 'I think both sides recognise it's a close contest. I'm sure Watford will be thinking to come out of the blocks quickly - we'll want to do the same.

It's about keeping your nerve and being able to perform under pressure. Both sides are well equipped to do that. When you get to this stage, it could be who makes the fewest mistakes.'
