Leicester City travel to take on Stockport County at Edgeley Park 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 ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The last time the two teams met at Stockport Co. was way back in the black-and-white days of September 1924, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Second Division match.
