Leicester City prepare to entertain Preston North End at Walkers Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 11 of the 28 previous games, with the Foxes winning just 9.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Walkers Stadium was just last season, in November 2006, with Preston N.E. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Foxes in a Championship match.
