Leicester v Norwich Team News

Last time out in the Premier League, Leicester City blew their opposition Aston Villa out of the water, shipping four goals past them in a frantic encounter in front of the home crowd. In-form striker Jamie Vardy was the cream of the crop for the home side, registering his name on the scoresheet to extend his scoring run to eighth games in a row.

It was nothing less than you would expect from the Foxes, as they totally bossed the Villans for the entirety of the ninety minutes to post a 4-1 score-line on the scoreboard.

Norwich, on the other hand, fell to a disappointing defeat to fellow Premier League newcomers Sheffield United, the game ending in a cold sweat. The Canaries were totally rampant for the entirety of the first period, bagging a goal to show for their impressive performances.

However, things turned sour for Daniel Farke’s charges as the Blades slotted in two unanswered goals after half time to clinch maximum points. Norwich fans left the stadium distraught, after seeing their side surrender a one-goal first half lead.

For this fixture, home advantage will play a pivotal role on who comes out tops. With Leicester playing in front of the home support, they will be hoping their supporters can spur them on to victory. They have simply been breath-taking at the King Power Stadium this season.

Also, the home side are on a stellar nine-game winning run across all competitions, and have won 15 of their previous 17 as well. At their backyard, they have not admitted defeat in 14 of their preceding 15 fixtures, and have won 12 of their prior 15 appearances on this ground.

Meanwhile, Norwich are absolutely nothing placed side-by-side with this foe, taking the record books into consideration. Boasting of just two wins from their previous fifteen clashes, they are easily the worst away side in the competition at the moment.

When it comes to h2h encounters, the Foxes have the upper hand, having maintained an unbeaten status against this opposition since 2011. Ever since then, they have been heads and shoulders above the Canaries in every single way imaginable.

Leicester: Matty James.

Leicester vs Norwich Predictions

It goes without saying that this Leicester City squad are streets ahead of Daniel Farke’s side, boasting of more experience and talent within their ranks. The Premier League experience of the likes of Jamie Vardy and James Maddison will be key in separating these two sides come Saturday afternoon.

That said, the Foxes have enough about themselves to see off the challenge of Norwich City with relative ease to keep up the pressure on European champions Liverpool. Count on Jamie Vardy to get his name on the score-sheet before ninety minutes run out.
