Three facts about Leicester:
- Leicester are on a 21-game winless run against us in the Premier League (D7 L14), with their only win against us coming in their first ever Premier League encounter in November 1994 (a 2-1 victory).
- We have won each of their last 10 Premier League home encounters with Leicester City; our joint longest winning streak at home against a single opponent.
- We have never lost a Premier League game contested on a Friday (W6 D1) while Leicester have never won one on this weekday (D1 L2).
Key man: Riyad Mahrez
The mercurial Algerian has been linked with a move to Roma during the summer transfer window, but has had an influential pre-season with the Foxes. Despite his request to leave the club, the 2015/16 PFA Player of the Year has obvious quality and can pose a real threat.
