"Relegated from the Premier League last season, Leicester are targeting an immediate return to the top flight, but their campaign has been inconsistent. Marti Cifuentes's men have recorded eight wins, seven draws, and eight defeats from 23 Championship matches, a mixed run that sees them stuck in mid-table. Their recent form offers little encouragement: a 2-1 home loss to Watford followed a heavy 4-1 defeat at Queens Park Rangers on December 20."
"The Foxes' last victory came on December 13, when they beat Ipswich Town 3-1 at home. Since then, they have lost four of their last seven league games, underlining their struggles. At home, Leicester have collected 16 points from 11 matches, but they face a Derby side boasting the third-best away record in the division, with 18 points from 11 road trips."
Leicester City host Derby County with both teams seeking to move closer to the Championship playoff places. Leicester sit 14th on 31 points, five behind sixth, while Derby occupy 11th on 32 points, four shy of the playoffs. Leicester have eight wins, seven draws and eight defeats from 23 matches and have lost four of their last seven league games following a 3-1 win over Ipswich on December 13. At home Leicester have 16 points from 11 matches. Derby possess the third-best away record with 18 points from 11 trips. Harry Souttar is sidelined with an ankle injury and Patson Daka is on international duty; Jordan James and Jordan Ayew are expected to feature.
