Foxes can continue surge at top

Leicester have enjoyed a phenomenal Championship campaign to date and they will look to continue that when facing Leeds United at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes are top of the division and have won an incredible 13 of their 14 games played this season, scoring 29 times and conceding just eight.

No side have ever reached 39 points as quickly as Leicester in the Championship and they can also set a new club record 10th consecutive Championship victory this time.

Leeds have won just one of their past four away matches and have not been victorious in their previous four meetings with the Foxes.

In fact, the past two encounters at the King Power Stadium have gone in Leicester’s favour and boss Enzo Maresca has already won six of his seven home fixtures since joining the club.

We are predicting the Foxes to continue their incredible start to the campaign and get the three points against the Whites.

Iheanacho showcasing ability

Leicester frontman Kelechi Iheanacho has often had his critics during his time at the club, but this season the Nigerian forward is showing his class in front of goal.

He has already scored five times this term. He has been rotated in and out of the starting XI with the veteran Jamie Vardy.

Even if Iheanacho does not start on Friday evening, it should not be a problem for the striker with three of his five goals for the Foxes coming when he has joined the action off the bench.

Iheanacho is averaging 1.5 shots per game for the Foxes and Leeds have kept just one clean sheet in their past four away fixtures, so chances are sure to be there for the 27-year-old.

Even with the rotation up top for Leicester, we are backing Iheanacho to score on Friday and help his side against Daniel Farke’s Leeds.

Vestergaard to continue ill-discipline

One man who has been key for Leicester this season is defender Jannik Vestergaard, although his discipline is certainly something that can be improved in the coming months.

Vestergaard has picked up seven yellow cards in 13 Championship games this season and is susceptible to a foul when thwarting opposing counter-attacks.

Leeds have a lot of pace in their side and Farke often opts for Crysencio Summerville and Daniel James on either wing.

Summerville has been fouled 1.8 times per game this season and James 1.3 times, so the pair are likely to cause problems for the far less pacey Vestergaard.

We are opting for the Dane to pick up a remarkable eighth caution of the campaign against Leeds.
