Leicester have conceded in their last four home matches
Stoke have scored in three of their last four away games
Recommended Bet: Both Teams to Score
Leicester welcome Stoke to the King Power Stadium on Saturday as the Foxes look to close an eight-point gap to the Championship’s automatic promotion places.
Marti Cifuentes’ men ended a damaging five-game winless run before the international break with a 2-1 victory at Norwich, thanks to late goals from Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Jordan James.
That result lifted them back into mid-table, but Leicester have struggled at home, winning just two of their seven league matches at the King Power this season.
Stoke, meanwhile, sit in third despite losing narrowly to top of the table Coventry last time out. The Potters’ away form has been particularly impressive, collecting 14 points from eight road trips — only the league leaders have earned more.

Team news
Former Stoke star Asmir Begovic is set to keep his place between the posts for Leicester as Jakub Stolarczyk continues his recovery from a groin injury.
Young defender Ben Nelson was stretchered off against Norwich last time out and looks likely to miss several weeks with a serious ankle injury.
Caleb Okoli is an option to slide from right-back to the centre or Cifuentes could reinstate Wout Faes and possibly implement a back three.
De Cordova-Reid is pushing for inclusion after his goalscoring heroics off the bench at Carrow Road.
As for Stoke, Mark Robins may stick with the same back line that frustrated Coventry for long spells.
Ben Pearson and Lewis Baker bring balance to the midfield, while Bae Jun-ho has been doing enough to warrant a longer run in the number 10 role.
Sam Gallagher remains unavailable because of a muscular problem, so Divin Mubama should continue up front.

Prediction
This looks set to be a tightly-contested affair between a Leicester side still searching for fluency at home and a Stoke outfit with one of the Championship’s best away records.
The Foxes’ defensive lapses have cost them points at the King Power, while Stoke’s compact shape and counter-attacking threat has delivered results on the road.
With these two Midlands clubs carrying attacking quality — Jeremy Monga and Abdul Fatawu for Leicester, Sorba Thomas and Million Manhoef for Stoke — both teams to score is the standout betting angle.
