AI-assisted match preview written from official match data.
Leicester's recent form reads LDWDD, with draws against Malaga, Millwall and Hull City either side of a home defeat to Genoa and a win at Blackburn. Northampton, managed by Colin Calderwood, arrive having taken just one point from their last five matches, drawing 0-0 with Coventry before losing to Lincoln twice, Oldham, and Southampton.
Northampton's sequence of DLLLL contrasts with Leicester's steadier if unspectacular form under their current setup. The visitors have not won in any of their last five outings, a run that includes back-to-back defeats to Lincoln either side of the Coventry draw.
Leicester have avoided defeat in four of their last five matches, while Northampton have lost four of their last five and won none.
