Leicester City face a trip to Stoke City at Britannia Stadium on Sunday 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 24 and win only 8 of the 44 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2007, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a Championship match.
