Stoke City, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Stoke City players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Sunderland. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Sunderland who had 8 attempts and 5 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Steven Schumacher will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Bet365 Stadium.
A home win for Stoke City is just a distant memory, having not won at Bet365 Stadium in 7 games.
Leicester City, Recent FormLeicester City enter this game with a comfortable 3-1 home win over Swansea City last time out in the league.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, this season they have scored in 13 of their 14 games on the road.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way. It's been a good season so far with them having won 22 of their 29 league games.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has scored 4 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Stoke City.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Leicester City running out winners in a match that ended 2-0.
The Stoke defence has struggled against The Foxes in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 games. We've seen plenty of goals from Leicester when they've visited The Potters in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Bet365 Stadium in the league, but Stoke will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings there.
Jamie Vardy will be feeling confident of netting goals for Leicester in this one against Stoke with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
Stoke manager Steven Schumacher has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Frank Fielding (Unknown), Josh Laurent (Ankle) and Emre Tezgel (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Leicester manager Enzo Maresca ahead of this clash, with Wilfred Ndidi (Leg) missing out, which gives Maresca a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
