Leicester City prepare to entertain Scunthorpe United at Walkers Stadium on Friday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Foxes have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Walkers Stadium was just last season, in March 2008, the Foxes carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Championship match.
