MATCH PREVIEW
Leicester have been unlucky in recent games, but ended a four-match winless run and got their promotion bid back on track by beating struggling Scunthorpe on Saturday.
Despite their recent wobble, Leicester, who are 10th in the table, still boast the Championship's best record in 2011, having won eight and lost only three of their 13 matches since the turn of the year.
They were crushed 6-1 by Portsmouth in September and will be out for revenge with the help of a an ex-Pompey favourite in on-loan striker Yakubu, who has scored four goals for the Foxes since joining them on loan from Everton.
Yakubu and co may have their work cut out if his former club's outstanding recent defensive record is anything to go by. Steve Cotterill's side have kept clean sheets in seven of their last eight matches.
