Predicted XI, injuries, kick-off, TV and streaming

The international break is over – thank goodness! The Championship is almost ready for its restart, and we are so ready and here for it! There hasn’t been much positivity around the King Power Stadium so far this season. However, another building block was laid in hopes of finally having a solid foundation for LCFC under Marti Cifuentes.

Before the English second division suffered another interruption, the Foxes had just beaten Norwich City with a last-minute goal. On-loan midfielder Jordan James won the match and firmly cemented his place as Leicester fans’ favourite. We need stability on Filbert Way more than ever.

City’s opponents this weekend are Stoke City. The Potters are third in the table despite losing to Coventry City in their previous outing. LCFC’s Midlands foe the Sky Blues are currently atop the second tier. But let’s look forward to the next clash between the two teams at the heart of this piece; while discovering an interior point of view.
