Leicester vs Norwich predictions

At the start of November, Leicester were 8-11 to reach 100 points in the Championship after winning 13 of their first 14 matches under manager Enzo Maresca.

Five months later, however, the Foxes have dropped out of the automatic-promotion places and face a testing home fixture against in-form Norwich.

Leicester lost four of their first 32 games of the 2023-24 campaign but Friday's 1-0 defeat at Bristol City made it four defeats in six for the long-time leaders.

The Robins were worthy winners at Ashton Gate, having six shots on target to Leicester's three, although they were helped by some uncharacteristically sloppy finishing from Jamie Vardy.

Leicester have lost their last two home games to QPR and Middlesbrough so Norwich should be confident of taking at least a point.

A victory for the Canaries would be a boost for their East Anglian rivals Ipswich, who went top of the table on Friday, but Norwich are purely focused on securing a playoff place.

They have won six of their last eight league games to move into the top six, beating Rotherham 5-0, Stoke 3-0 and Plymouth 2-1 in their last three fixtures.

Seventh-placed Coventry and eighth-placed Preston are also on the charge so the Canaries need to maintain their late-season surge.

David Wagner's men have been heavily reliant on their home form, claiming 14 of their 19 league wins at Carrow Road, but they have also drawn 4-4 at Southampton and 2-2 at Ipswich this term and their classy forwards can add to the tension at the King Power Stadium.

Key stat

Leicester have lost four of their last six Championship matches.
