Huddersfield is ready to travel to King Power this weekend and is still looking for their first win in this Premier League campaign. This round of poor form-found places visitors in the landfills. Nor do the statistics look that Leicester has won each of their last seven corporate meetings between the two sides.
“Claude Puel's Foxes will also be desperate to win to follow back-to-back defeat to Liverpool and Bournemouth“. The hosts will also be without the suspended Wes Morgan after his red card in the previous trip. Back on a breezy Tuesday evening in Yorkshire in October 2012, Nigel Pearson's Leicester and Simon Grayson's recently accelerated Huddersfield, “both in play-off places“, were thrown out in a Championship match, which would certainly give victory over the winter months.
Changes for both sides
Coming into the game, both leaders were forced to make changes in their starting eleven. For Huddersfield, the borrower, Jermaine Beckford, was not entitled to meet his Leicester parent club and was therefore replaced by the experienced Sean Scannell, who should make his first appearance. Leicester's forced change came in the form of young teenager Liam Moore, who replaced the former Manchester United academic candidate, Ritchie De Laet on the right back. Chants of "He is one of our own" roared from Leicester faithful.
Andy King and Wing Lloyd Dyer were also brought into the starting line to replace Ben Marshall and Matty James.
