Match preview

It has been a season of frustration for Leeds and Leicester, with both winning just two of their last seven Premier League games.

Leeds are starting to get some of their key players back but it’s defensively where they continue to struggle, with just one clean sheet in the league and a minus seven goal difference.

Leicester have also had their troubles at the back, conceding 11 goals in their last six Premier League games and they let in three goals when the two sides last met, at the King Power Stadium in January.

The reverse game though was an impressive 4-1 win for the Foxes, who have won on three of their last four visits to Elland Road.

Jamie Vardy, who scored the third goal in last season’s win, heads into this clash having netted in three of Leicester’s last four Premier League away days and he can continue his form on the road.

Key stat

Jamie Vardy has scored in three of Leicester’s last four away league games.
