Leicester City, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Leicester City racked up a stunning 3-0 home win against Preston North End. In that game they had 77% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Preston North End who had 6 attempts and 1 on target.
With 14 goals scored from their past 6 matches and just 3 conceded, their manager Enzo Maresca will be more than happy with his team's form of late. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 9 of their 10 games this season.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 5 league games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Leicester City, Kasey McAteer will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Stoke City, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Southampton will not have sat easily with the Stoke City squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they recorded 43 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 9 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. With 10 played this season, they've failed to score in 5 games and have conceded at least 1 goal in 9.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Potters defence has struggled against Leicester in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 games.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Leicester hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings.
Leicester man Jamie Vardy will be confident about extending his scoring record against Stoke, having hit the netting 3 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Leicester manager Enzo Maresca ahead of this clash, with Dennis Praet (Back) missing out, which gives Maresca a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Alex Neil has a number of injury concerns in his Stoke squad to contend with: Lewis Baker (Knee surgery), Tyrese Campbell (Hamstring), Ryan Mmaee (Hamstring), Enda Stevens (Calf) and Emre Tezgel (Unknown)
