Stats point to a Leicester City victory this weekend following their home record against Coventry City

Leicester City will enter this weekend full of confidence due to their early-season form, and they will look to put their 2-2 draw last weekend against Oxford United behind them with a win against Coventry City.

Marti Cifuentes can turn to the impressive home record of Leicester against Coventry this century as evidence for their confidence.

Leicester have never lost at home in the King Power Stadium to Coventry, with their last defeat coming at Filbert Street in the Premier League in April 2001.

Since then, the Foxes have been unbeaten in their last nine home fixtures against Coventry, with seven of those being victories against the Sky Blues.

Leicester will also point to their impressive home form since May this year, as they have won all four fixtures at the King Power, netting twice in all these victories while keeping three clean sheets.

Coventry City will look to break 24 years of history by beating Leicester City

Despite having a poor away-from-home record against Leicester City, Coventry can make history with a victory over the Foxes this weekend.

Frank Lampard can guide Coventry to consecutive victories over Leicester for the first time since 1997, when Gordon Strachan achieved this in 2001 when the Sky Blues were in the Premier League.

Coventry beat Leicester in January 2024, with a scoreline of 3-1 in the Championship, and while it has been over a year since they last faced each other, the Sky Blues can achieve back-to-back wins for the first time since 2001 against the Foxes.

Lampard will be confident he can extend Coventry’s unbeaten start to the campaign against Leicester despite history being against them.
