Leicester City face a trip to Preston North End at Deepdale on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Foxes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 17 and win only 5 of the 30 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2010, with Leicester City inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the North End in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Preston North End's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While North End have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Leicester City's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Foxes have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Preston N.E. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 24 games have yielded only 19 points. Leicester City's 35 points from 26 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
