Leicester City are set to play Leeds United at the King Power Stadium on Thursday in the English Premier League.

Leicester City vs Leeds United Prediction
Leicester City are currently 19th in the league, and have won only one game so far. Manager Brendan Rodgers is unlikely to last long on the basis of current form, and the 49-year old has been, if reports are to be believed, on the precipice since the season began.
Rodgers has not been helped by Leicester City's lack of action during the summer transfer window, with Belgian centre-back Wout Faes the only arrival. Faes was signed to replace Chelsea-bound Wesley Fofana. Given the Foxes' lack of depth in multiple positions, their lack of activity was surprising.
Leeds United, on the other hand, signed a bunch of players last summer, with Marc Roca, Luis Sinisterra, Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Nissen Kristensen all arriving. They did lose two key players in Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips, but Leeds United's squad looks more balanced right now.
They are currently 15th in the league and have lost three of their last five top flight fixtures. Jesse Marsch's side are four points ahead of Leicester City with a game in hand, and their recent form has created concern among the club's fanbase.
Both sides are struggling right now, but Leicester City look dull and bereft of confidence. Leeds United will be hopeful of capitalizing on this, and we expect them to secure a narrow win.
