Prediction: 3-1
Stoke City
King Power Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Leicester City and Stoke City, the two old rivals. The Foxes are eager to secure a quick return to the Premier League and they must be high on confidence following five consecutive league wins. Experienced forward Jamie Vardy could be given a rest against Stoke, with Kelechi Iheanacho pushing for a start, while all Kasey McAteer, Callum Doyle, Thomas Cannon, and Dennis Praet remain in the recovery room.
The Potters, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Southampton, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on the promotion-chasing hosts. Stoke City’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Andre Vidigal, Lynden Gooch, Michael Rose, Ben Wilmot, Tyrese Campbell, Ryan Mmaee, Enda Stevens, Lewis Baker, and Emre Tezgel. When the two teams met in the FA Cup two years ago Leicester crushed Stoke 4-0.
Highlighted Player (Jamie Vardy):
Spending his early career playing no-league football, Jamie Vardy made the headlines when he joined Leicester City in a £1 million deal in 2012, but little did he know that he would go on to become a genuine Premier League star just three years later.
The experienced forward helped the Foxes gain promotion to the elite division and then score more than 20 goals as they mounted an unlikely title bid, earning worldwide acclaim as well as a place in the England squad. Vardy went on to score his first two goals for the Three Lions in March 2016 friendlies, with his back-heel goal against Germany in Berlin seeing him instantly become a fans’ favourite.
Over the years, Vardy has earned a reputation as a striker who never gives up and can be a real menace for opposition defenders, but his excellent goalscoring record and good link-up play are enough to suggest he can be described as a mix of old-style pacey forwards and modern strikers.
