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 3 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at King Power Stadium. Leicester has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Rodgers and the players.
Barnes was the last player to score a league goal for Leicester City and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Leicester City haven't scored in 279 minutes.
Leicester City faced defeat in their previous match, away at Southampton (0-1). Midfield player Maddison got a match rating of 7.61 in that game, the max score being 10. Maddison hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 33 successful passes (of 40 total).
Preceding that fixture, a somewhat shocking home loss against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup.
It should be noted that a glance at the 16 most recent league fixtures reveals that 12 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).
