Leicester got themselves a good away win at Everton to start of the new year on a positive note. That is actually three wins in their last four Premier League fixtures now (home and away combined). In their last Premier League home game they did suffer a bit of a shock as they lost 1-0 against Cardiff. Leicester are W4 D2 L4 on home soil in the EPL this season and they haven’t been a high-scoring side really, with 12 goals produced in their ten home fixtures. They have conceded an average of a goal against per fixture.
Only 40% of their home games this season have ended over 2.5 goals. Across the course of the season at home Leicester have collected three clean sheets.
