    Post Match: Leicester City 1-1 Wrexham

    "The boos at the end were very striking to me...

    "I'm on the fans' side - I thought it was a poor performance. Harry Winks aside, I couldn't find many positives. That was abject, to me. Not enough threat, desire, pace on the ball - they were strolling through a game. They should have been out of sight."

    On this week's When You're Smiling podcast, Jack Rafferty and former Leicester City goalkeeping coach and caretaker boss Mike Stowell reflect on the Foxes' fourth consecutive draw, 1-1 at home to Wrexham.

    They also react to Marti Cifuentes' post-match comments.

    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.
