Leeds United are aiming to secure back-to-back victories for the second time this season. They would overtake their visitors with a win.

Leicester City are looking to win five of their opening seven top-flight matches for the first time ever.

Both teams are carrying injures, but it is safe to say that Leicester are lacking in numbers at the moment…

Liam Cooper is fit to return for the hosts, but Kalvin Phillips and Diego Llorente remain sidelined.

Timothy Castagne (hamstring) is ruled out for Leicester while fellow defender Jonny Evans (back) is a doubt. 

Caglar Soyuncu, Ricardo Pereira and Wilfred Ndidi are all still unavailable for the Foxes.

Let’s hope for a different outcome this time around at Ellen Road!

This is what Leicester Fan Tv’s Sam had to say before kick off tonight!
“It is going to be a tough match, we have got a LOT of injuries, and Leeds have come up from the Championship, taking the season by storm. It is going to be hard tonight, but i have all the confidence that we can get the three points, creating some history getting 5 wins out of 7!”
