Team News
Huddersfield have a couple of injury concerns with Terence Kongolo (unknown) and Philip Billing (back) both struggling to be available in time to make the squad.
Otherwise, Siewert has a fully-fit squad to choose from with Jonas Lossl coming back in for Ben Hamer in goal and Jon Gorenc Stankovic replacing Kongolo at centre back the only expected changes.
Harry Maguire is available again following his red card away at Burnley
Rodgers has no new injury concerns to contend with and is still only missing long-term absentees Marc Albrighton (hamstring) and Daniel Amartey (ankle).
Albrighton is expected to be back in the next couple of weeks but Amartey's injury looks as if it will keep him out for the rest of the season.
Predicted Lineups
Huddersfield | Lossl; Smith, Schindler, Stankovic, Durm; Bacuna, Hogg; Pritchard, Mooy, Lowe; Grant. |
Leicester | Schmeichel; Pereira, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell; Ndidi, Tielemans, Maddison; Gray, Vardy, Barnes. |
Head to Head Record
These two sides have faced each other 62 times previously with Huddersfield taking most of the spoils, beating Leicester
When the sides have met in the Premier League, however, it has been a different story with Leicester winning two of the three games, including a 3-1 victory at the King Power earlier on in the season. The other match ended as a draw.
Recent Form
Huddersfield's results in their last five matches has reflected their entire season with just one victory and four defeats.
That victory over Wolves is their only win in 2019 and was their first in the league since their previous fixture against Wolves in November, when they won 2-0.
Leicester's form has been excellent since Rodgers took over five games ago, winning four and losing just once away at Watford.
In that run they have scored ten times, conceding only five and keeping their first clean sheet under Rodgers last time out.
Here's how each team has performed in their last five matches.
Huddersfield | Leicester |
Crystal Palace 2-0 Huddersfield (30/3) | Leicester 2-0 Bournemouth (30/3) |
West Ham 4-3 Huddersfield (16/3) | Burnley 1-2 Leicester (16/3) |
Huddersfield 0-2 Bournemouth (9/3) | Leicester 3-1 Fulham (9/3) |
Brighton 1-0 Huddersfield (2/3) | Watford 2-1 Leicester (3/3) |
Huddersfield 1-0 Wolves (26/2) | Leicester 2-1 Brighton (26/2) |
Prediction
Everything points to Leicester continuing their excellent recent run of form and making it defeat number 25 of the season for the home side.
Huddersfield's relegation may allow the players to release the shackles, however, and they will be keen to send their long-suffering fans home happy following such a dire season in which they have tasted the winning feeling on just three occasions.
The class of the visitors should be too much though and should travel back home with all three points.
Prediction: Huddersfield Town 1-2 Leicester City
