Huddersfield Town, Recent FormLosing 3-1 away to Plymouth Argyle won't leave the Huddersfield Town squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. In that game they had 48% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Plymouth Argyle who had 14 attempts and 7 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They have been performing well at The John Smith's Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Leicester City, Recent FormLeicester City will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against Coventry City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 65%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Coventry City had 20 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Supremo Enzo Maresca will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
After a good 1-4 win for Leicester City in this pair's last league encounter, Huddersfield Town will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
The Foxes will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Huddersfield having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 12 meetings. In their recent meetings The Terriers have struggled to keep Leicester at bay, having conceded 13 goals in their last 5 games.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Leicester has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Huddersfield in 11 games.
Jamie Vardy is on a hot scoring streak against Huddersfield, having scored in each of Leicester's last 0 meetings with them.
Huddersfield manager Neil Warnock has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. David Kasumu (Ankle), Tom Lees (Back) and Ollie Turton (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Leicester manager Enzo Maresca ahead of this clash, with Conor Coady (Foot) missing out, which gives Maresca a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
