Leicester vs Stoke Predictions, Lineups & Betting Tips

Leicester City will be hoping to continue their road back to a play-off push against high-flying Stoke in the Championship on Saturday.

The Foxes are down in 12th - far from where they imagined they would be at the start of the season - and had lost three straight league matches before the recent win and draw. Their record is five wins, six draws and four losses.

The Potters are exceeding expectations and have so far survived claims that they will drop off after their early positive start. Up in third, they have registered eight wins, three draws and four defeats, plus have three wins in five.

We're predicting a Stoke City Double Chance (Win or Draw).
