    Leicester City and Wrexham will lock horns for the first time in more than 43 years as the Red Dragons head for the King Power on Tuesday night (19:45 BST).

    After picking up their second point from four home games with Saturday's 1-1 draw against Derby, Phil Parkinson's men are seeking to re-write their own record books by winning a third straight away game and registering their first ever win over the Foxes.

    Marti Cifuentes' men salvaged a point at West Brom on Friday night to make it three straight draws and five games unbeaten in the Championship but have collected seven points and are unbeaten in their three homes games so far and have conceded only once.

    • This will be the first meeting in any competition between Leicester City and Wrexham since a goalless draw in the second tier in April 1982.

    • 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 Red Dragons have only faced Crystal Palace (16) more without ever winning.

    • Leicester have kept four clean sheets in their past five home league games, as many as their previous 30 beforehand.

    • Wrexham have won four of their past five away league games (L1), and could win three in a row on the road in the second tier for the first time in their history.

    • Wrexham's Josh Windass has scored four goals in his past three away league appearances, and could score in four in a row for the very first time in the EFL.

    Leicester City manager Marti Cifuentes spoke to BBC Radio Leicester after his side drew 1-1 with West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

    "It's mixed feelings. We had good control, good dominance in the first half – and it was a very good first half, but unfortunately we went down.

    "Definitely we could have been more clinical in the last third to create clear chances, but I thought the team did a lot of good things.

    "In the second half, of course the closer you get to the end the more emotional you become and a it gets a little bit more uncontrolled, but I think at the end we got what we deserved.

    "The things I value a lot - the personality, the effort those guys are showing in every game - shows that this thing of 'Foxes never quit' is there, and we need to maintain that. But at the same time, we hope for even more quality in the last third to create more chances.

    "We need to make sure that we are better than just chasing a draw in the last minute."
