Leicester City is set to host Stoke City in the Championship, and both teams have had differing starts to their respective seasons.Leicester City, the pre-season favorites to secure promotion to the Premier League, has lived up to expectations, winning nine of their opening ten Championship matches. Their most recent victory was a comfortable 3-0 win against Preston North End, with goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Kelechi Iheanacho.With 27 points from 30 available, Leicester City currently sits atop the Championship standings, boasting a seven-point lead over third-placed Preston North End. The team's defensive solidity is highlighted by having conceded only six goals in their first ten matches. With key players like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Wilfred Ndidi in midfield for Leicester City, they have been able to overcome the absence of Dennis Praet, who has struggled with a back issue. Youngster Kasey McAteer is expected to be sidelined due to a hamstring injury, with Abdul Issahaku likely to join Stephy Mavididi and Jamie Vardy in the attack. Stoke City has struggled recently, with just one win in their last seven matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing ended in a narrow 1-0 defeat to Southampton. Despite starting the season with home wins against Rotherham United and Watford, Stoke City's inconsistent form has raised questions about their promotion prospects. Stoke City, on the other hand, will be without Lewis Baker, Ryan Mmaee, and Enda Stevens due to injuries. Their recent form has seen them fall behind in the promotion race, currently sitting six points behind sixth-placed Leeds United. In this encounter, Leicester City is the clear favorite, given their strong start to the season and home advantage. Stoke City will need to regroup and find their form to challenge the league leaders. However, the odds appear to be against them, and Leicester City is expected to secure another victory at home, predicting 3-1 win.
