Leicester vs Stoke Preview
Leicester are currently winless in their last three league games, suffering defeats away to Manchester City and Everton and only collecting a point at home to Swansea. However, the Foxes have won four of their last five at home, conceding just once in those matches and will fancy their chances against a Stoke side whose form on the road has been poor to say the least.
Leicesters 1-0 win over Sheffield United in the FA Cup last weekend was their first win in four and although they didn’t collect any points for that victory, it will give Claude Puel’s men a boost going into this fixture.
Riyad Mahrez will look to make his first Premier League start in over a month while Wes Morgan is also likely to feature in the starting XI after making a return from injury and playing the full 90 minutes against Sheff Utd last weekend. Robert Huth and Shinji Okazaki are both doubts for Saturday due to fitness.
Stoke have managed one win, two draws and a loss under the management of Paul Lambert. However, Lambert has only been on the road with his team once which happened to be their 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth, adding to the dreadful tally of losses that Stoke City have accumulated away from home this season. Their last and only win away from home was back in October when an early goal from Darren Fletcher was enough to collect a rare 3 away points for The Potters. Picking up just 6 points from a possible 39, Lambert will have to get his tactics right if he’s going to lift his club out of the relegation zone on Saturday.
Stoke were eliminated from the FA Cup by League 2 side Coventry last month and so have had two weeks to recover and plan for this game. Lambert will likely name a similar side to that which picked up a point against Brighton earlier in the month and will hope to have the likes of Stephen Ireland and Peter Crouch back before the weekend.

Leicester vs Stoke Predictions
Leicester are looking for their first league win in four and their cup win against Sheff Utd might be what they needed to get back on track. Paul Lambert has only lost once since taking over as manager of Stoke but we can’t look past their dreadful away record when deciding on an outcome of this game. It looks like Stoke will have to pick up points at home in order to climb out of the relegation zone where we can see them staying for at least one more week.
