Both teams have scored in Leicester's previous 12 Championship games
Charlton have failed to win any of their last nine away league games (L7)
Recommended bet: Leicester to win & both teams to score
A home defeat against Oxford City, their 11th from 29 games in the second tier this season, was enough for Leicester City to call time on Marti Cifuentes' stint in the dugout.
The Foxes are headed into this round of games in 14th spot – six points off Wrexham in sixth – and with first-team coach Andy King set to take the reins on an interim basis after just one win in the last five games in the Championship.
Charlton, meanwhile, have won just two of their last 14 league games, leaving them in 19th spot going into the weekend – a mere three points clear of the relegation zone and with the pressure mounting on boss Nathan Jones.

Team news
Leicester are likely to remain without the services of Harry Winks, Aaron Ramsey and Victor Kristiansen as well as long-term absentee Harry Souttar.
Knocks prevented midfielders Jordan James and Oliver Skipp from featuring in the reverse to Oxford last weekend, but they could come back into the fold now. Patson Daka enjoyed a cameo off the bench and could now start in the forward line.
The Addicks were thumped 4-0 by Millwall last weekend. Harvey Knibbs is facing a stint on the sidelines after sustaining an injury in the win over Sheff Utd this month, while Joshua Edwards and Onel Hernandez remain absent.
The stats
Prior to the Oxford defeat, Leicester had won three of their four home league games.
Both teams have scored in each of the Foxes' last 12 Championship games and in 11 of their 14 home assignments so far.
Over 2.5 goals has landed in 14 of City's last 15 league games and four of Charlton's last six.
Only West Brom's games are averaging fewer corners than Charlton's tally of 9.29 per game this season.

Prediction
Leicester dispensed with their manager after last weekend's home loss against Oxford, while Charlton have registered just two league wins in three months.
There are reasons to doubt both, therefore, but the Foxes will feel they can get all three points against a side with just two wins in 15 away Championship games.
City won the reverse game at The Valley, scoring the only goal, but recent trends hint there will be more goals here.
Both teams have hit the net in Leicester's last 12 Championship games and, despite their own woes, the Addicks had scored in six straight league and cup outings prior to the 4-0 reverse at Millwall.
Leicester are 7/10 with LiveScore Bet to win this contest, but a better proposition is having the Foxes to triumph in a contest where both sides score.
