.... host Macclesfield tonight, in a Carling Cup first round tie.
Entering the new season with plenty of optimism, The Foxes were left a little shell shocked by two defeats and no goals. They have since picked up, with a 3-1 home win over Ipswich and a draw with local rivals, Coventry City on Friday, where Leicester were unlucky not to pick up the three points.
Macclesfield have picked up only one point from the opening 4 matches and have conceded 7 in their two away games, they are giving up far too many chances and look to face a season of struggle. Tonight they will be without 3-6 players, depending on late tests and with a limited squad, will be forced to include several inexperienced youngsters, at least on the bench.
The two sides met in a preseason game at Moss Rose in July, City snatching a 1-0 win. The Championship side have also had an extra days rest, which at this stage of the season will be very welcome, clubs are not really "battle hardened" yet.
All the advantages are with the home team and I expect them to convert the chances that will undoubtedly come their way.
4 points Leicester City -1.25 goals asian line 2.05.
Good Luck.
