Leicester City pack their bags to visit Stoke City at Britannia Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Foxes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 21 and win only 7 of the 40 games.
The previous match played between the two at Britannia Stadium was within the last three years, in August 2002, with Leicester City inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Potters in a League Division One match.
