Leicester host Wrexham in the Championship on Tuesday night and will be eager to get a win on the board having been held to a draw in each of their last three matches.

The Reds, meanwhile, are eyeing the top half of the table after Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Derby on Saturday and face City in a competitive fixture for the first time in 43 years.

Team news

Leicester are still without midfielder Aaron Ramsey, who serves the last of his three-match ban after being shown a red card against Oxford.

Harry Souttar is still sidelined though Victor Kristiansen will be available after coming on against West Brom following a spell out.

Wrexham left-back Liberato Cacace has a hamstring problem, but George Thomason should be available after recovering from a thigh injury.

Oliver Rathbone is out with an ankle issue while Jay Rodriguez remains sidelined, along with Andy Cannon and goalkeeper Danny Ward.

The stats

Leicester have kept four clean sheets in their last five home league games, as many as in their previous 30 matches.

Wrexham have never won in six previous league meetings with Leicester (D3 L3).

The Foxes have only faced Crewe (10), Loughborough (10) and Scunthorpe (8) more times without ever losing in the Football League, while the Dragons have only faced Crystal Palace (16) more without winning.

This is the first meeting between the sides since April 1982 when Wrexham and Leicester drew 0-0 at the Racecourse Ground in old Division Two.

Wrexham have won four of their last five away league games and could win three in a row on the road in the second tier for the first time in their history.

Prediction

Ten years ago, as Leicester embarked on a fairytale Premier League title triumph, Wrexham were in the National League and would finish eighth.

Today, the clubs are in the second tier and much more evenly matched, though the Foxes are favourites to win on Tuesday night.

Leicester, having come down from the top-flight, should possess enough quality to claim victory at the King Power Stadium.

The visitors are still acclimatising to the Championship and, though picking up points, the Foxes boast home advantage as they aim to strengthen their place in the top six.

The visitors can expect to at least find the net though, having scored in each of their 10 games in league and cup this season.

Leicester haven't conceded at home since the opening day of the Championship campaign, but you can expect the Welshmen to find a way to breach the home defence.
