We have won 3 of our last 4 EPL against Leicester (L1), winning the last 2 in a row. We haven't won 3 consecutive league matches versus the foxes since February 1987.
We have set a new EPL record of going 29 EPL games without a single draw. The last top-flight team to have a longer run were Portsmouth between March 1928 and February 1929 (38 games).
We have lost 3 of our 5 Sunday EPL games this season (W2), including our only previous one at home so far (0-1 vs Man Utd)
We have won our last 3 EPL games thanks to goals scored in the final 10 minutes of games.
Leicester failed to score in the reverse fixture against us, losing 0-2. They last failed to net in 2 consecutive league games against us in November 2000. They have won just 1 of their last 11 EPL away games in London (D4 L6), beating Chelsea on their last such visit in December.
They are 1 of just 3 non "big six" sides to have won away against such a team this season (1-0 vs Chelsea), along with Wolves and Crystal Palace.
Leicester's Jamie Vardy has been directly involved in 7 goals in his last 7 EPL appearances against us (4 goals 3 assists), netting 3 goals in his last 2 against us.
Son Heung-Min has had a hand in 5 goals in his last 2 EPL starts against Leicester, scoring 3 and assisting 2. He has had a hand in 14 goals in his last 11 starts in the EPL for us, scoring10 and assisting 4.
