Sheffield Wednesday, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Birmingham City will not have sat easily with the Sheffield Wednesday squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. During that encounter they had 48% possession and had 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 13 shots on goal.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Danny Röhl where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 11 in the same period. Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
With 5 defeats in their last 6 outings, they will be looking for a significant change in their current run of form. With 13 defeats across 17 games in the league this season, their form has been very disappointing.
Leicester City, Recent FormLeicester City have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 home win against Watford in their previous league match. They achieved 65% possession in that match and had 23 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Watford's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Manager Enzo Maresca will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had an excellent run of form away from home recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games on the road. They will be very happy with their early away form this season, winning 7 of their 8 away league games.
Kasey McAteer will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Sheffield Wednesday in this match, having already scored 4 goals in his last 6 away games for Leicester City.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Leicester City.
Wednesday have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with The Foxes.
With only Mohamed Diaby (Leg) and Josh Windass (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Danny Röhl will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Enzo Maresca has a number of injury concerns in his Leicester squad to contend with: Yunus Akgün (Knock), Callum Doyle (Knee), Wilfred Ndidi (Muscle) and Dennis Praet (Back)
