Some stability has been seen in Leicester City’s recent matches and they will go to their home game against Leeds United looking to pile pressure on their embattled opponents. It has been a tough season for Leicester and they take to this game a haul of 30 points, in 12th place. Meanwhile, Leeds are placed 16th with 33 points going into this game. A key boost for Leicester City in recent times has been the return of Jamie Vardy after injury and he scored in the last game as the Foxes beat Burnley 2-0. James Maddison has also been in fine form, with three goals in the last two matches. One player who will definitely like this fixture is Harvey Barnes, who has scored in each of the last three meetings with Leeds United. The win over Burnley was Leicester’s third in four matches but their first clean sheet in 10 matches. They’ve failed to score in just one of their last 10 matches.

Leeds United have one of the poorest runs in the league this season and c0ming into this game. They have four straight losses going into this game and are just two points above the relegation zone. With 60 goals conceded, they have the poorest defence in the league. So far in the league, Leeds have managed just five wins and with this run the patience with Marcelo Bielsa ran out and Jesse Marsch will be the man leading the team in the Leicester game. In his first game in charge, the former Leipzig manager has to inherit an injury-hit team with Patrick Bamford, Liam Cooper, and Kalvin Phillips among the key players missing. A change in formation will also be a priority with Leeds in very bad shape especially in defence. They’ve conceded 20 goals in their last five matches and are fresh from a 4-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
