Leicester News and Form
The Foxes are struggling for Premier League form again. From the last 15 points available to them, they have collected just one. To be fair they have been through some tougher fixtures recently, having faced Liverpool, Manchester United and Spurs in their last three games. But also in that winless sequence, there were easier fixtures for them against Wolves and Southampton.
The home fans really have to be getting pretty restless by this point because Leicester have lost four of their last five at the King Power Stadium (W1). Across the entire Premier League season the Foxes have only picked up four home victories. Leicester are at W4D2 L6 on home soil this season.
Leicester have scored in only two of their last five home league fixtures. The general scoring output has been lower than anticipated, with them having only netted 13 goals at the King Power stadium. They have conceded 13 as well. Leicester have earned a clean sheet in 25% of home fixtures but they are without one in any of their last five.
