Match preview

Leicester can keep up their Premier League title push when they host Leeds in what should be an entertaining Sunday showdown.

Wednesday's battling 1-1 draw at Everton extended the Foxes' unbeaten run to nine in all competitions and while they fell away last season, this time around their squad looks strong enough to get through games such as this, even without the injured Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi.

Encouragingly for Brendan Rodgers, Leicester have transformed their home form, taking seven points from the last nine available having lost four of their first seven games at the King Power.

The helter-skelter season Leeds are having is epitomised by their away record. Tuesday's 2-1 win at Newcastle was their fifth on the road in the league, but they have also lost five, with no draws. Meanwhile, they have conceded a division-worst 21 goals.

Marcelo Bielsa's attacking approach backfired in November's reverse fixture when Leicester ran out 4-1 winners on a rainy night at Elland Road.

Harvey Barnes opened the scoring in that game and his recent improvement suggests he could be a contender for England's squad in the summer.

The same could be said for James Justin, who will be charged with controlling Leeds danger man Raphinha. After recording a goal and an assist against Newcastle, the Brazilian winger has been directly involved in six strikes in as many starts away from home.

Raphinha is sure to be a threat but even without Vardy and Ndidi, Leicester should have too much.

Key stat

Leicester are unbeaten in nine games in all competitions.
