Match Facts
Coventry have won one of their last 17 league matches against Leicester City (D7 L9), a 2-0 win in February 2008 under Chris Coleman.
This is Leicester’s first league visit to Coventry City since the opening day of the 2011-12 Championship season. The Foxes won 1-0 with a goal by Lee Peltier.
Since losing four league games in a row in October and November, Coventry have lost just one of their last 11 Championship matches (W6 D4). In that timeframe (November 11th onwards), only Leicester (26) and Southampton (25) have more points than the Sky Blues (22).
Leicester City are the first second tier side to have won 21 league games in their first 26 matches since Tottenham Hotspur in 1919-20 (also 21 wins). They are the first side outside of the top-flight with that many wins after 26 games since Northampton Town in the fourth tier in 1986-87 (also 21).
Coventry’s Haji Wright has been involved in at least one goal in his last five Championship starts (3 goals, 3 assists) and has the highest expected goals per 90 minutes figure of any player with 500+ mins played this season (0.63); second in this regard is Leicester’s Kelechi Iheanacho (0.59).
