Leicester City, Recent FormLeicester City head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 1-0 away win against Huddersfield Town in their last league encounter. They came away from that fixture with 69% of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Huddersfield Town managed 13 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Playing at home, they've conceded a goal in each of their last 14 games.
Cardiff City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by Queens Park Rangers will have left the Cardiff City squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 65%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Queens Park Rangers had 7 shots on goal with 3 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Erol Bulut will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 13 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Callum Robinson has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Leicester City.
Cardiff City recorded a 0-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
The Bluebirds have managed to keep a clean sheet against Leicester in each of their previous 2 visits to The King Power Stadium. The Leicester defence has struggled in front of its own fans when The Bluebirds have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 meetings at The King Power Stadium.
Leicester has a poor track record in the league when they host Cardiff, losing in their last 2 home games.
With only Conor Coady (Foot) and Mads Hermansen (Lack of fitness) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Enzo Maresca will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Cardiff manager Erol Bulut ahead of this clash, with Ryan Allsop (Knock) missing out, which gives Bulut a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
