THE LOWDOWN
LEICESTER
- It was a memorable night this past Tuesday night at the King Power Stadium as Leicester put in a heroic defensive performance, combined with a magnificent counter-attacking goal to beat Liverpool 1-0, preventing the Reds from scoring for the first time this season.
- Victory was achieved despite a huge list of missing players through injury with Jamie Vardy, who started on Tuesday suffering a muscle problem which renders him absent for this one.
NORWICH
- Norwich’s wretched recent run continued at Selhurst Park as they were beaten 3-0 by Crystal Palace, they fifth straight Premier League defeat without scoring leaving them still firmly marooned at the bottom of the table.
- The Canaries’ squad remains ravaged with both injuries and Covid-19 related absences and Dean Smith will once again be forced to field a side far different from what he would like to in normal circumstances.

THE PREDICTION
Having shipped a whopping 14 goals across their last five matches, Norwich in themselves in a dire situation right now. Confidence among their hugely depleted camp is at rock bottom, their attack is totally lacking of any significant threat and keeping a clean sheet appears nigh on impossible right now. Leicester couldn’t wish to be playing at the Canaries at a better time right now and will be riding the crest of a wave following that memorable Liverpool win. However, they must ensure they leave any complacency firmly inside the dressing room and show the same intensity as they did this past Wednesday. Should they do so, then three points in this one is expected to be a formality.
Tip: LEICESTER TO WIN
*This match has since being postponed due to a series of injuries and Covid-19 cases within the Norwich squad.
