Two sides struggling for form meet in the Premier League on Saturday as Leicester City host Stoke City at the King Power Stadium.

Neither the Foxes nor the Potters have won in their last three matches, although this has left Leicester in eighth spot in the table, whilst Stoke are struggling down in 19th.

Any points for Claude Puel’s side will lift them above Burnley into seventh and if Stoke can spring a surprise and win away from home, they will climb to 15th.

Leicester have not lost to the Potters in any of their last five meetings, although three of those have finished in draws.

Team news

Leicester City are almost entirely injury-free with Shinji Okazaki their only concern, although he may return from his knee injury to at least make the bench.

Peter Crouch and Stephen Ireland are doubts for Stoke, but could also both be fit for Saturday.
