Leicester City v Norwich City: match preview

Leicester City v Norwich City
Leicester City v Norwich City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Leicester City return to action refreshed after their late defeat at the hands of Arsenal and Claudio Ranieri will relish the prospect of hosting Norwich. Alex Neil’s side have conceded 18 and taken just one point from their past six games. Expecting victory should always be avoided but Ranieri can be sure Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy have the quality to maintain Leicester’s two-point advantage at the top. Graham Searles
