Leicester News and Form

Leicester collected a fantastic 1-0 win at Chelsea on the weekend, defying the odds at Stamford Bridge. That came after a two-match losing streak that they had put on the board. That was only their third win in their last eleven league games though. The victory leaves them with a W3 D3 L2 record in their last eight top-flight games. At home this term in the top flight they have posted a W3 D2 L3 record at the King Power. They have collected just the one win in their last five home games (D2 L2)

They have tallied ten home goals, conceding eight so it hasn’t been the most prolific season from them in front of goal. Each of their last four home games have produced fewer than three goals this term. The Foxes have only found themselves ahead at the midway break twice this season. All three of their home wins this term have been by a two-goal margin and it would be something if they pulled that off. Leicester have shipped 60% of their home goals in the first half of matches.
