Leicester City will host Preston North End at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 Championship campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a brilliant Championship campaign so far this season and will fancy themselves early promotion favorites. They picked up a clinical 4-1 win over Blackburn Rovers in their last game, with four different players getting on the scoresheet including Wout Faes who scored his first-ever away goal for the Foxes.
Leicester sit atop the Championship standings with 24 points from nine games and will be targeting victory this week to strengthen their grip at the top.

Preston North End have also had a largely solid campaign despite recent struggles. They were thrashed 4-0 by West Bromwich Albion in their game on Saturday and could have no real complaints about the result after an uncharacteristic dull performance on home turf.
The visitors sit two places and four points behind their midweek opponents in the league table. They will now be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this week.
