Leicester City, Recent FormLeicester City enter this game with a comfortable 2-0 away win over Cardiff City last time out in the league. In that game they had 64% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Cardiff City who had 10 attempts and 2 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 16 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Enzo Maresca will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 5 goals in the same period. They have scored in 22 of their 25 games this season, and of the 12 games they have played at home, they've notched up 7 clean sheets.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Stephy Mavididi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Leicester City's last 6 league games.
Huddersfield Town, Recent FormThe Huddersfield Town squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 home defeat against Middlesbrough, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with a 43% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Middlesbrough, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 5 of which were 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 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 11 of their 12 games this season.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Delano Burgzorg will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Huddersfield Town.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Leicester City running out winners in a match that ended 0-1.
The Terriers defence has struggled against Leicester in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 13 games.
Leicester has had a good run of league results at home to Huddersfield, winning their last 6 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 6.
Leicester man Jamie Vardy will be confident about extending his scoring record against Huddersfield, having hit the netting 5 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
Leicester manager Enzo Maresca has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Marc Albrighton (Knee), Kasey McAteer (Unknown) and Jamie Vardy (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Darren Moore has a number of injury concerns in his Huddersfield squad to contend with: Kian Harratt (Hamstring), Pat Jones (Hamstring), Chris Maxwell (Knock), Lee Nicholls (Concussion), Matty Pearson (Knock), Josh Ruffels (Groin), Ollie Turton (Cruciate ligament) and Danny Ward (Leg)
