There is plenty of Premier League action to look forward to on the weekend including the meeting between Leicester City and Leeds United at the King Power Stadium.
This match will take place on Sunday the 31st of January and the hosts begin the weekend in 3rd place on 39 points while the visitors are in 12th place on 26 points.
Leicester City come into the match having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Everton on Wednesday night. The Foxes fell a goal behind after 30 minutes but came back well in the second half to score the equalising goal and take a share of the spoils.
That result means Leicester City are undefeated in their last 9 matches in all competitions. Prior to the draw at Goodison Park, Leicester City won 5 games in succession including Premier League victories against Southampton and Chelsea at home plus Newcastle United away.
Trends show Leicester City are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches in all competitions. In their 3 most recent home games in all competitions, Leicester City have managed to score 2 or more goals.
In fact, at least one goal has been scored by Leicester City in all of their last 9 matches in all competitions. However, they have kept just 3 clean sheets in their last 11 home Premier League fixtures.
Leeds United make the trip to the King Power Stadium having picked up a 2-1 victory at Newcastle United in midweek.
Leeds United were much the better team for most of the game and despite conceding an equaliser in the 57th minute, responded quickly to score the winning goal just 4 minutes later.
It was an important result for Leeds United as it ended a run of 3 consecutive defeats in all competitions. In addition to defeats against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton in the Premier League, Leeds United were dumped out of the FA Cup by Crawley Town.
Trends show Leeds United have been inconsistent away from home and despite winning 3 of their last 6 away matches in the league, there have been some heavy defeats against top teams including 6-2 at Manchester United and 3-0 at Tottenham Hotspur.
In Leeds United's 6 most recent away games in all competitions, there have been over 2.5 goals scored.
Team news and Leicester City are forced to continue without striker Jamie Vardy, who is injured. He is joined on the treatment table by Wes Morgan and Dennis Praet. Jonny Evans and Wilfred Ndidi remain doubtful.
Leeds United are without the injured quartet of Diego Llorente, Robin Koch, Adam Forshaw, Gaetano Berardi.
As seen previously this season, games involving either Leicester City or Leeds United are usually entertaining and we expect to see over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. However, Leicester City have been the better team throughout the season and should take maximum points.
