Leicester City face Norwich City on Easter Monday just a couple of days after the Foxes lost their fourth game in the last six, a 1-0 defeat at Bristol City on Good Friday. Anis Mehmeti's 73rd minute strike enough to hand the Robins a win. Manager Enzo Maresca will be concerned at his team's lack of form as they have squandered what was once a ten-point lead at the top of the Championship table, and now lie behind Ipswich Town and Leeds in the table, albeit with a game in hand, which if they win would put them back on top of the table. The problem for Foxes fans is that they do not look like winning many games at present. And that cannot be said of the team they are welcoming to. the King Power Stadium for the 12.30pm kick off on Monday.

After a start to the season which saw manager David Wagner under huge pressure for his job, the German has repaid the faith the Canaries board kept in him by leading his team right up the table and into the playoff positions. Norwich now lie in the final playoff spot in the table (6th), four points ahead of Coventry below them but the Sky Blues do have a game in hand. Only Ipswich Town have taken the same number of points (12) as Norwich over their last five Championship games. They have lost just two of the last 14 games in the Championship, winning 9 of those games, drawing three. They have won one and drawn two of their last four away games and only failed to score in one game in 2024, a 1-0 away defeat to Leeds in January. Their current form, in contrast to Leicester's means that they will be looking to take something from this game.
