Since a loss in their previous game against Queens Park Rangers in Championship competition, Leicester City and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Leicester City had 62% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target. For Leicester City, goals were scored by Jordan James (14') and Ben Nelson (50' Own goal). On the other side, Queens Park Rangers had 14 shots on goal with 3 on target. Harvey Vale (43') and Ronnie Edwards (58') scored for Queens Park Rangers.

The stats don’t lie, and Leicester City have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals in total. At the back, Leicester City have been far from perfect.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Leicester City:

• remain unbeaten by Watford in away games against them for the last 3 league matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 3 league matches away from home.
• have not won away from home in their last 9 league games. Very poor, indeed.
