Leicester City form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Leicester City have only managed 4 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses from their games here at King Power Stadium.

The regulars are hoping that Leicester City will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 3-5 away loss in the game against Fulham (placed 10th). The first setback in the shape of a loss after collecting points in three league matches. A goal frenzy last time out for Leicester, with a total of 8 goals in the match against Fulham. Fun stuff to watch! The penalty miss from Vardy in the defeat against Fulham was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen. Maddison (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.94/10. Maddison scored one goal, served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 10 times.

In the match before that, Leicester City hosted Everton and drew the game 2-2.

Some goal stats: A review of the 10 latest league matches shows that 9 of them had at least one goal from each team.

Leicester City has scored 21 league goals at home this season, in 17 matches. 23 goals have been conceded.
