Peterborough are propping up the Championship table and boast the worst home record in the division, having lost 9 of their 15 matches at London Road this season. They have also let in 31 goals at home, only Bristol City have a worse record with 34 goals conceded. On a positive note, Peterborough do score regularly at home, having netted on 24 occasions - a better record than 6 of the teams in the top half of the table. However, tomorrow they come up against the meanest defence in the Championship. The Foxes have only let in 12 goals on the road this season, comfortably the best record in the Championship. Hull have the next best record with 17 goals conceded.
Leicester are looking to maintain their 100% league record in 2013, chasing their 6th successive league win - a feat they haven't achieved for two decades. In their last 5 league matches, Leicester have secured all 15 points, scoring 14 goals and conceding just 2. The gulf between these two sides is reflected off the field as well. Peterborough's average home attendance so far this season is 7,420. Leicester have already sold in excess of 4,500 tickets for tomorrow's game at London Road. It may well be that there are as many away fans as home fans at the game. Hopefully, the Foxes fans will have another 3 points to cheer about.
I would expect one change from the victory over Wolves - James replacing King in central midfield. Moore is likely to be on the bench having recovered from a knock. St. Ledger and Whitbread are back in full training but this game may have come too soon, even for a place on the bench.
Probable line-up:
Schmeichel
De Laet
Morgan (c) Keane Konchesky
Knockaert
James Drinkwater Marshall
Wood
Nugent
