The three-time champion and winner of the FA Cup last season won the title of the winner of the Championship, which brought the team a ticket to the country’s elite championship. The Yorkshire team waited for their return and showed serious activity in the transfer market, which brought success at the start of the Premier League tournament. It should be noted that the team did not last long, but the opponents in the Premier League are very difficult. For 20 rounds of the current championship, the “whites” have nine victories and two peaceful outcomes, which brought 29 points and 12th place in the standings. The Peacocks started 2021 with two defeats to Tottenham (0:3) and Brighton (0:1). In the last two rounds, Marcel Bielsa’s charges defeated Newcastle (2:1) and Leicester (3:1). It should be noted the weakest indicator in the defense line among the first 12 teams of the tournament, which conceded 36 times. Today Berardi, Koch, Llorente, Poveda, Rodrigo, Rafinha and Forshaw, who has a groin injury, will not be able to take part in the match.
For the second season in a row, Leicester is claiming a place in the TOP-4 at the equator of the championship. Twelve victories and three draws brought the Fox 39 points, which currently place them in fourth position in the Premier League standings. True, positions of Brendan Rogers’ charges could have been more solid, but two misfires in a row did not allow the Blues to bypass the third Liverpool and the fourth Manchester United. On January 27-th Leicester shared the away points with Everton (1:1) and suffered their sixth defeat of the season, losing 1:3 at home to Leeds. The quality of the Fox’s attacking play is affected by the absence of Jamie Vardy, who missed the team’s last three matches due to injury. The participation of Leicester’s top scorer in the upcoming game remains questionable. In the FA Cup Leicester made it to the round of 16 with a convincing 3:1 away win over Brentford.
