Leicester City prepare to entertain Stoke City at Walkers Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Foxes are clearly on top, having won 21 and lost only 5 of the 41 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Walkers Stadium was two seasons ago, in January 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Leicester City have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The Foxes's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.
Stoke City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Potters have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Leicester City see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 18 points from their 14 games played so far, Stoke City's 20 points from 14 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Leicester City at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Foxes will at least gain a draw. Score draw
