Leicester City finished the year on a high and will be eyeing a good start to 2022 when they host Norwich City on New Year’s Day. The hosts go into this game placed ninth, on 25 points, 15 ahead of bottom placed Norwich City. Ahead of this game, Leicester City produced one of their best performances this season in the 1-0 win over Liverpool on Tuesday. Surprisingly, that was only their third clean sheet in the league this season and the fact that it included a saved penalty pumps up the confidence. Leicester haven’t struggled in attack and going into this game, they have scored in each of their last nine games. In four of their last five, they’ve scored two or more goals and in total, they have 13 goals in five games.

Norwich have four losses in their last six matches against Leicester, and this couldn’t have come at a worse time. They have five straight losses going into this game and finishing 2021 bottom of the table strengthens the prediction that they will be among the teams going down. A win in this game may change a lot, but Norwich haven’t shown much capability for that in their recent matches. They head to this game right from a 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace, a result that served their fifth straight game without a goal, and a fifth straight defeat as well. They have no win in the last seven matches, and have only scored one goal in that run. In their last five matches they have conceded two or more goals in four. They’ve let in a total of 14 goals, their biggest defeat in that run being the 5-0 loss at home to Arsenal.
