Leicester City form and stats

The story so far in the Premier League for Leicester City at their home stadium (King Power Stadium) is 8 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. When Leicester City hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Southampton, Leeds United, Leicester City, Everton, Watford and Burnley), they have won 2 of 4 matches!

Leicester City's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Everton (placed 16th). Midfield player Castagne got a match rating of 7.7 in that game, the max score being 10. Castagne hit three key passes and had 42 successful passes (of 46 total).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Leicester as they are travelling to their away game against Watford in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.

Leicester City have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at King Power Stadium with 27 goals in 17 league matches.

Norwich City form and stats

There's been little loot from Norwich City's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 17 away games in the Premier League. Norwich City only have 2 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 3 draws. With the Norwich losing streak of four 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 308 minutes.

Norwich City's previous game was their home loss versus West Ham United (0-4). Norwich lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Rupp got a match rating of 7.05 in that game, top player of the team. Rupp hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times.

A 0-2 defeat away at Aston Villa before that.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Norwich City manager Smith has some worries about the defense as 37 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The contenders have played each other previously this season, with the final score Norwich City - Leicester City 1-2 registered in the official records. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Leicester City five wins, two draws and Norwich City three victories.
