The new Leicester City manager is likely to get a hostile reception at Vicarage Road after an abrupt departure in 2009 but his players remember him warmlyWhen Brendan Rodgers takes Leicester to Vicarage Road on Sunday, it will be the third successive home game in which Watford have welcomed back a former manager.
