"However, making an immediate return to losing ways last time out as they opened the New Year with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Sheffield United, the pressure on Marti Cifuentes' shoulders has now reached a boiling points. Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny on December 20th as they slumped to a 4-1 drumming against QPR, the Foxes have lost three of their previous four Championship appearances."
"Likewise, not featuring since the start of November, Danish international Victor Kristiansen remains on the sidelines. However, returning to Cifuentes' squad over the weekend, Patson Daka could make a first Championship appearance since December 13th. Settling for a spot on the bench away at Sheffield United on New Year's Day, veteran striker Jordan Ayew should be handed a full recall."
Leicester aim for an immediate Championship bounce back after relegation last season but have slipped into a worrying run of form. The team lost 3-1 at Sheffield United and suffered a 4-1 defeat to QPR, losing three of their previous four league matches and earning just three wins from their last nine Championship outings. Defensive problems persist with no league clean sheets since September 20th. Injuries rule out Boubakary Soumare, Harry Souttar, Harry Winks and Victor Kristiansen, while Patson Daka has returned to the squad and Jordan Ayew looks set for a recall. West Brom opened the New Year with a 1-0 loss at Swansea.
