Premier League preview and odds: Leicester City vs Norwich City

February 27, 2016 15:00pm - King Power Stadium

Premier League

Leicester City will be keen to keep their Premier League title rivals at arm`s length on Saturday when they welcome a Norwich side that are winless in five to the King Power Stadium.

Leicester still top after rare defeat

Leicester City can keep their Premier League destiny in their own hands with a win over struggling Norwich this weekend. The Foxes have a two-point gap over the chasing duo of Arsenal and Tottenham, with Manchester City a further four points back.

Last time out, Claudio Ranieri`s men fell to their third defeat of the season when they were beaten 2-1 at Arsenal - two of their three defeats this term have come against the Londoners. The East Midland side have not been beaten in their last eight matches on home soil, and they have not conceded in their last four.

Draw felt like a loss for Norwich

Norwich City threw away a two-goal lead and the chance to pull clear of the drop zone, when they drew 2-2 at home to West Ham United in the last game week.

That result, left the Canaries in 17th place in the table with only goal difference keeping them out of the relegation places. Alex Neil`s men have lost their last four away games in a row and have conceded on every one of their road trips this term.

Team news

The home side will be without Jeff Schlupp and Matthew James.

Meanwhile, Andre Wisdom could feature for the visitors after a spell out with a knee injury.
