Match Facts
This is the first league meeting between Leicester and Preston since the 2010-11 season – at the King Power that season, the Foxes won 1-0 with a goal from Paul Gallagher.
The home team has won just one of the last 12 league meetings between Leicester and Preston (D5 L6), with Leicester winning 1-0 in October 2010 under Sven Goran Eriksson.
Leicester have won four of their last five home league games (L1), as many as their previous 18 beforehand (W4 D4 L10).
Preston are unbeaten in four league games away from home (W2 D2), their longest such streak since going seven without defeat from April to October 2022.
After scoring against Bristol City, Leicester’s Jamie Vardy could score in back-to-back league appearances at the King Power Stadium for the first time since May 2022.
