Of Leicester's remaining 12 Championship fixtures, 7 are against teams currently in the top 10. This includes 4 matches against other teams in the top 6, with 3 of these away from home. Forget 2nd place, securing a play-off place will be a good achievement from here. Brighton and Middlesborough are breathing down Leicester's neck - both play bottom of the pile Bristol City this week. Leicester have two home games in 5 days and you would think that anything less than 4 points out of 6 will increase the pressure on the Foxes.
David Nugent may return from a neck injury after resuming training today. The big question will be whether Pearson plays 4-4-2 as he did against Blackburn, or whether he plays 4-3-3 with Wood, Kane and Nugent upfront as at Blackpool. I suspect it will be 4-4-2, with Nugent on the bench for the 2nd half if needed. Leeds are in decent form, with 7 points from their last 3 games. They haven't conceded a goal in any of them. This will be a tough test for City and I would expect the defensive qualities of both sides to prevail.
Prediction: 0-0
