Leicester City form and stats

5-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Leicester City so far this season. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Leicester, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Leicester's previous game was a Premier League match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Liverpool (placed 2nd). The home side are looking to build on that result. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Rodgers when Lookman scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute. Amartey was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.35 out of 10. The defender Amartey won 2 of 6 duels.

Heartbreak before that as Leicester lost 3-6 at Manchester City's place.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Leicester home games with this odds we find four games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in three wins, zero draws and one defeat. Looking at the victories, one match were won by at least two goals.

The Leicester fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 16 goals in 9 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 12 goals have been conceded.

Norwich City form and stats

Norwich City have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-2-6 (9 played). With the Norwich City losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

The attacking players of Norwich City have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 461 minutes.

Norwich are travelling again after losing away to Crystal Palace in their previous match (0-3). Norwich City did not look prepared in the first half against Crystal Palace and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one. Midfielder Gilmour was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.24. Gilmour had 55 successful passes (of 67 total).

Preceding that, the 0-5 home loss versus Arsenal.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Norwich played away with similar odds. This revealed three games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected three times.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Norwich's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 9 matches. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Norwich's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 23 goals in 9 travels.

Head 2 Head

The teams involved met each other earlier this season: Norwich City - Leicester City 1-2. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - two - three (Leicester City wins - draws - Norwich City wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
