Goal Statistics

Stoke City's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday lunch time, not least because Leicester City have conceded in each of their last 25 Championship matches. A PG of 1.6 for M. Robins's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Leicester City of late. It has been 5 Championship games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Saturday lunch time against Stoke City.
