Leicester City vs Leeds United Premier League Match Preview or Key Statistics 📊
Leicester City are looking to record a league double over Leeds for the first time since the 2004/05 campaign when the sides were in the Championship.
Leeds United’s only previous Premier League match at the King Power Stadium was back in September 2003, losing 4-0 under Peter Reid. Their only away league win against Leicester at the King Power was in November 2011 in the Championship, a 1-0 win.
Leicester are looking to win four consecutive games against Leeds in all competitions for only the second time, also doing so between September 1997 and November 1998, although their last three wins have all been in different seasons: 2013/14, 2017/18 and 2020/21.
Leicester are unbeaten in seven Premier League games (W4 D3), with only Manchester City on a longer current run without defeat in the competition (11).
Leeds are the only side yet to have had an away draw in the Premier League this season, with the Whites winning five and losing five of their 10 games on the road.

Leicester have won their last two Premier League home games, as many as they had in their previous seven (W2 D1 L4). The Foxes last had a longer league winning run at the King Power Stadium between August-December 2019 (7).
Leicester have scored more goals from the penalty spot than any other side in the Premier League this season (8), while no side has conceded more penalty goals than Leeds (6).
Leicester’s Harvey Barnes has been involved in five goals in his last six Premier League games (3 goals, 2 assists), more than in his first 13 appearances this season (3 goals, 1 assist).
All six of Raphinha’s Premier League goal involvements for Leeds this season have come away from home (3 goals, 3 assists), with the Brazilian scoring and assisting in the Whites’ 2-1 win at Newcastle last time out.
