Leicester City and Leeds United will face each other in the Premier League this week. The match will be held at the King Power Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 8:15pm UK time on Thursday.
Leicester City
Leicester City won the Premier League title not so long ago and were fighting for the UEFA Champions League just one or two seasons ago, but things are dire at the moment. The Foxes finished as high as eighth in the Premier League table last season, but things are looking really bad now.
Brendan Rodgers’s side are second from bottom in the Premier League table at the moment with just five points from 10 matches. They are four points behind 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers and are in danger of getting released to the Championship at the end of the season.
Leicester will head into the match against Leeds United at the King Power Stadium on the back of a goalless draw with Crystal Palace at home in the Premier League. It followed a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth away from home in the league.
Team News:
Jamie Vardy could lead the line for Leicester City against Leeds United. Harvey Barnes is also set to start for the former Premier League champions.
Leeds United
Leeds United fought for survival in the Premier League for most of last season and eventually secured their place in the English top flight on the final day of the campaign. Things should be better this time around given the investment that the club made in the summer transfer window, but results have not been going particularly well.
The West Yorkshire club are 15th in the Premier League table at the moment with nine points from nine matches, just a point above third-from-bottom Southampton, who have played 10 games. Leeds are playing well and are creating chances, but they are not scoring enough.
Leeds will head into the match against Leicester City away from home at the King Power Stadium on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Elland Road in the Premier League. It followed a 2-1 loss at the hands of Crystal Palace away from home at Selhurst Park in London in the league.
Team News:
Patrick Bamford came off the bench for Leeds United against Arsenal at Elland Road, and the England international striker could start against Leicester City.
Key Factors to Consider
- Leicester City have won 1 of their last 5 Premier League matches.

Conclusion
Both Leicester City and Leeds United are struggling at the moment, but both of them play good and attacking football. This should be a very good football match to watch and should have a few goals. Leicester are likely to win the game in the end.
