Leicester City v Stoke City: match preview

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

Leicester City have been brilliant since Craig Shakespeare took over and he will become the first British manager to win his first four Premier League games if his side beat Stoke. Mark Hughes’s team are in their usual ninth position – the place they have finished in each of the past three seasons – and will be keen to upset Shakespeare and improve on their record of only three away wins so far in this campaign.
