After a slight bump in the road, Leicester City got their title hopes back on track with a home win in midweek, beating Swansea in that game. They travel away from home on Saturday to Stoke, with a chance to make it two wins in the space of just a few days, and really cement the fact they're back as strong title favourites.
Stoke City Form GuideWe saw an upturn of form at Stoke with the arrival of Steven Schumacher before Christmas, but they've lost a bit of that recently, which has seen them drop in the standings once more. They begin the weekend in 19th position with 32 points, that puts them seven clear of the relegation zone, so there's still plenty of work to be done.
The main reason for that is two defeats from their last two games, with the most recent being an away defeat last Saturday at Sunderland, a game they lost 3-1. Before that, Stoke lost on home soil, with Birmingham coming and taking home three points in a 2-1 win.
Leicester Form GuideWe've seen the odd small blip from Leicester, but that's easily forgivable when you think about just how well they've done overall, winning 22 of their 29 league games so far. They remain top, things could close a little if Leeds win on Friday night, but as we head into the weekend, they're 10 points clear of second placed Ipswich.
It was a much needed win on Tuesday night, and a comfortable one in the end, beating Swansea 3-1. Before that, Leicester won in the FA Cup 3-0 at home to Birmingham, but in the league, they lost 3-1 away at Coventry and drew 1-1 at home to Ipswich, tough games for anyone, but they would have still been seen as disappointments for Leicester.
Match PredictionBack on track with a good win on Tuesday night, I am backing Leicester to shine again here. They remain clear in the title race, and can make it two wins in the space of one week here, to further enhance their claims.
