Leicester City form and stats

Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Leicester City are 9-1-9 (wins-draw-losses). Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Leicester, their manager B. Rodgers and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The Leicester crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-4 to Tottenham Hotspur here at Wembley Stadium in a Premier League match. Attacking player Jamie Vardy bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 8.61 out of 10. Vardy scored two goals. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Preceding that match was a Premier League defeat to Tottenham Hotspur (2-4).

A decent goal production from Leicester City in their home games so far, with 34 goals from 19 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 30 goals have been conceded.
