Leicester City, Recent FormLeicester City head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 3-2 away win against Birmingham City in their last league encounter. They came away from that fixture with 59% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Birmingham City managed 8 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Enzo Maresca will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 15 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded6 goals during those same matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and this season they have notched up 6 clean sheets in 11 games at The King Power Stadium.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 6 league games.
Stephy Mavididi will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Leicester City.
Rotherham United, Recent FormThe Rotherham United players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Plymouth Argyle recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat. In that game they recorded 32 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 9 of their 25 shots on goal.
They have found the net 5 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 12 goals in that same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they have failed to score in 6 of their 11 games this season.
It's been a dismal run of form for Rotherham on their travels, not managing to win any of their last 24 away games.
The 1-2 victory which Leicester City recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
Leicester manager Enzo Maresca has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Yunus Akgün (Unknown), Marc Albrighton (Knee), Callum Doyle (Knee), Kasey McAteer (Unknown) and Jamie Vardy (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Leam Richardson has a number of injury concerns in his Rotherham squad to contend with: Tyler Blackett (Hamstring), Carlos Cafú (Hamstring), Sam Clucas (Hamstring), Shane Ferguson (Hernia), André Green (Achilles tendon), Cameron Humphreys (Hamstring) and Fred Onyedinma (Muscle)
