Leicester v Ipswich

Leicester vs Ipswich Preview

Leicester City's impressive 10-match unbeaten run in the Championship was brought to an end by way of a heavy 3-1 loss away from home at Coventry City but nevertheless, Leicester still sit top of the Championship table where they hold a seven-point cushion above their closest rivals and upcoming visitors, Ipswich Town, who returned to winning ways with a 2-1 home win against Sunderland.

Leicester City had previously racked up eight wins within their preceding 10 league matches which included five victories on home soil at their King Power Stadium with wins collected against Watford, Plymouth Argyle, Millwall, Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town respectively, so The Foxes will still feel confident and upbeat about their chances of returning to winning ways on Monday night.

The hosts have been handed just four defeats within their 27 games to date this term, two of which have been at home with losses to Hull City and Leeds United but Leicester City have also registered 11 wins within their 13 home games played which suggests that Enzo Maresca's side possess a serious threat to Ipswich here.

Onto Ipswich Town and the Tractor Boys ended a worrying five-match winless run in the Championship last Saturday with a 2-1 victory over Sunderland which will have come as a huge relief for manager Kieran McKenna and his side following four draws and a defeat.

Points picked up in draws with Norwich City, Leicester City (at home), QPR and Stoke City were offset by a comprehensive 4-0 rout at the hands of Leeds United just before Christmas, and the visitors face another tough task of keeping Leicester City quiet at the King Power Stadium on Monday night.

Results overall in this season's Championship campaign must be beyond the wildest dreams of even Ipswich Town's staunchest supporters as their side still occupy one of the automatic promotion spots having suffered just three defeats to date this term following promotion from League One at the end of last season.

However, the Tractor Boys have managed to capture just two wins from their last seven away games in the Championship which came in the form of victories at Middlesbrough and Watford but defeats at West Brom and Leeds United perhaps suggest Ipswich Town may fall short once again when facing Leicester City on Monday evening.

Leicester City v Ipswich Town Verdict

Leicester City have lost just once in their last eight meetings against Ipswich Town and The Foxes have produced some impressive performances this season at the King Power Stadium with no fewer than 11 wins collected within their 13 home games played so far this season, so Ipswich Town may well have their work cut out here if they're to grab even a point.
