MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
This is the first Premier League fixture between Leeds and Leicester since the 2003-04 season, in which both sides were relegated.
Leicester have lost just two of the past 13 league meetings, winning five and drawing six.
Leeds United
Leeds have won 15 of their past 20 league matches, drawing two and losing three.
Only Brighton and Tottenham had conceded more league goals from set-pieces than Leeds' five prior to the latest round of matches.
Since Marcelo Bielsa took charge in August 2018, only Liverpool and Manchester City have won more league matches in England's top four divisions than Leeds' 57.
They have only kept one clean sheet in 20 Premier League home matches.
Patrick Bamford has scored six goals in Leeds' first six league matches this season - a feat only Eric Cantona in 1992-93 had previously managed for the club in the Premier League.
Leicester City
Leicester are looking to win five of their opening seven top-flight games in a season for the first time in their history.
They could equal the club top-flight record of four consecutive away victories.
However, the Foxes have never won a Premier League away match on a Monday, drawing three and losing nine.
Eleven of Leicester's 13 Premier League goals this season have come in the second half.
Jamie Vardy's last eight Premier League goals have all come away from home, including all six this season.
Vardy has scored 12 goals in his past 15 Premier League appearances against newly-promoted teams.
Right that's it then, keep Vardy quiet, run em into the ground and Win,
Simples
I'm going for a 2-1 Win for us with Rodrigo and Paddy converting from Harrison and Ayling Assists (now that's a prediction )
Over to You..........................Predictions etc..........................
Come Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!

Thought Koch was much better second half. Nightmare for the first though.

Thought the whole team looked poor in the first half. The sense of panic at the back after conceding so early spread like wildfire. Much better second half but Leicester are a quality side and you cannot afford to give them a 2 goal head start

On the wrong side of Vardey for the third, though that’s no disgrace against a player like Vardey.

No easy games in the Prem. Any team can beat any team.

I was mortified to see Roberts brought on instead of Raphinha.
Indeed, that was the precise turning point and a huge error of judgement from Bielsa.
It looked like Hernandez knew it the way he was shaking his head....and rightly so, it proved.
He was clearly still on the pace tonight all the way through, using his movements wisely I order to do so.

Rahphina wasn’t on the the bench. He’s been Covid compromised evidently.
Keep up 🙈

Not possible to bring on a player that’s not even in the squad due to injury so not sure why you were mortified to be honest

Roberts hasn't shown anything since the Hull away game last year. So much so that from what I have seen I would be looking at getting Geldhart on bench instead of him.
