Leeds United vs Leicester City

Elland Road is the venue as Leeds United and Leicester City go head-to-head in an exciting Premier League match-up.

A return of two victories from their last four Premier League matches (D1, L1) indicates Leeds are getting back on the rails following a six-game winless start to the season (D3, L3). Having won 2-1 at lowly Norwich City last time out, the ‘Whites’ are now aiming to post back-to-back Premier League triumphs for the first time this season and subsequently beat a non-promoted team for the first time. Unlike last season, Marcelo Bielsa’s men look to be struggling in front of goal as they’ve netted an average of just 1.00 goals per match compared to 1.6 in 2020/21. On the bright side, though, Leeds defeated Leicester 3-1 in their most recent Premier League H2H and could beat them twice in a row in the competition for the first time since December 1999.

In the meantime, Jamie Vardy’s missed penalty came back to haunt Leicester in midweek Europa League action as they played out a dismal 1-1 home draw with Spartak Moscow. As a result, they are now winless in three straight games in all competitions (D2, L1 – 90 minutes only), conceding first in the last two, including a 2-0 home loss to Arsenal in their most recent Premier League outing. Despite experiencing a rough patch, the ‘Foxes’ can draw inspiration from their free-scoring form on the road, having found the back of the net in their last 12 Premier League away matches. Scoring in 13 straight top-flight trips for the first time since 1960 could come in handy as they look to improve on an indifferent form across their last 14 Premier League away fixtures (W5, D2, L7).
