How Leicester City Have Lined-up Recently
Manager Enzo Maresca has made very few changes over the past weeks, focusing on continuity and consistency. He has shown belief in his squad in previous fixtures and rotated freely. This seems to have changed over the past few fixtures with a more consistent starting lineup. Certain injuries to key players have caused a few personnel changes but on the whole, the team has almost picked itself.

A hard-fought victory against Championship strugglers Queens Park Rangers last weekend once again displayed the team’s versatility with Harry Winks scoring his first goal of the season which proved to be the match-winner. Unfortunately, the QPR manager parted ways with the side following their defeat to the league leaders.
Leicester City Recent Form and Tactics
Having only dropped three points to date, they sit at the top of the table with 39 points. The team have registered nine consecutive league victories. Significantly, a gap of 14 points has already been amassed to third place Leeds United.

Opponents Leeds United visit the King Power only having lost two of their last ten league games. This has included four victories in the last five games. The team are considered fellow favourites to be promoted so this game will be a huge test for both clubs and a chance to prove their promotion credentials. Many see this fixture as the biggest game of the season for both teams.
Leicester City Injuries to Consider
Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi remains unavailable with a muscle issue and is not due back until after the international break. Winger Yunus Akgun has suffered a recurrence of a muscle problem during training and is not available for selection. In more positive news, Tom Cannon could be included in the squad for the first time having been in training all week.
