Leicester City<\/a> host Norwich City<\/a> in a crucial Championship<\/a> clash at the King Power Stadium, with kick-off set for 12:30 on Saturday. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite their lowly position, Leicester have historically dominated this fixture, winning five of the last seven meetings, but Norwich\u2019s more solid defensive record this season suggests a far closer contest than in years gone by. Both sides are looking to arrest inconsistent form and turn momentum in their favour as the season enters its final stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

(38.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nNorwich have a better goal difference (+1 vs Leicester\u2019s -7), more clean sheets (6 vs 3), and have conceded fewer goals. Leicester\u2019s home edge is historical, but the Canaries\u2019 underlying metrics and current form give them a genuine chance, with the safety of money back on a draw.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
