Leicester City will be looking to make it back-to-back wins on the bounce when they welcome Norwich City to the King Power for their 2021 last action on Saturday evening with kickoff at 18:00.
Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City will enter the match in a happy mood having produced such a magnificent performance against Liverpool somehow managing to sneak 1-0 win over the Merseyside giants, despite their dominance in the match. Despite having a depleted squad Brandan Rodgers managed to get his side well organized at the back keeping red-hot Liverpool attacks and they did enjoy a slice of luck then Mohamed Salah missed a penalty.
The Foxes however are not in a good form as the win was their second win seven matches across all competitions drawing one while losing four in the run. They currently sit in the ninth spot on 25 points just three points above the 12th-placed Aston Villa.
Brendan Rodgers, though will be confident that his side can get the three points in this match as they are coming off the confidence-boosting win against Liverpool and they also need the three points to continue climbing up the table.
Meanwhile, Norwich City seem to have their fate sealed with the side languishing at the bottom of the table with only 10 points to their name. However they are just three points adrift of safety, but both Burnley an Watford have matches in hand and thus have minimal chances of salvaging their season.
The Canaries head into the match in poor for as they have haven’t won in any of their last seven matches and are coming off a five-match losing streak in the Premier League. Their last recent defeat came against Crystal Palace in their Boxing Day match, falling to 3-0 beating with Palace dominating both the match and territory.
The defeat marked their sixth defeat in their nine away Premier League matches this season and we Leicester will look to use that to their advantage.
