Fact me

  • This will be the 60th competitive meeting between Huddersfield and Leicester but the first in the top-flight since the 1971-72 season.
  • Huddersfield have lost their last seven league games against Leicester; their joint-longest losing run versus an opponent (also vs Ipswich in 1988 and vs Wolves in 1948).
  •  The Foxes have wonthree of their last four away games against Huddersfield (all comps), as many as in their previous 23 combined.
  •  Huddersfield have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 11 matches against Leicester City in all competitions, last recording a shutout in November 1987 with Lee Martin in between the sticks that day.
  • Leicester City have lost five of their last seven Premier League matches (W1 D1 L5), this after Craig Shakespeare lost only two of his opening 10 games in charge of the team in the competition.
  • The Foxes have the lowest average possession figure of all Premier League sides so far in 2017-18 (36.6%).
  • Huddersfield have kept a clean sheet in their two Premier League home games so far – they could become only the third newly-promoted to keep a clean sheet in their opening three home games of a Premier League season after Swansea City (2011-12) and Watford (2015-16).
  • These two sides have both made a league-low one change to their starting XI overall this season in the Premier League.
  • Jamie Vardy has had a hand in 14 goals (11 goals, three assists) in 17 Premier League appearances under Craig Shakespeare.
  • Riyad Mahrez has attempted a league-high 26 dribbles this season in the Premier League, but he's only beaten his opponent with 10 of these (38%)
