Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport’s LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Leicester City and Stoke City. Claudio Ranieri’s side can leapfrog league leaders Arsenal with a victory while a win for the visitors could move Mark Hughes’ men into the top six.

No side has seen as few goals scored in their Premier League games so far in 2015-16 than Stoke City (46).

Nine goals in one match sure does sound exciting, Norwich and Liverpool, but I just can't see as much excitement being served up at the King Power today.

Mark Hughes had this to say about title contenders Leicester:

"At the moment they're on a little bit of a run where positive results in terms of wins are not forthcoming. But I wouldn't suggest for one moment they are on the wane or on the slide.

"Their goalscoring threat has come through Vardy and Mahrez, so there was always a danger that if they stopped scoring or the chances being created weren't as readily available, then maybe their ability to win games would lessen. That seems to be happening at the moment, but I've seen recent games and they look just as threatening as they have done.

"They've still got a real threat and we'll have to play really well against them to get a positive result."

Here's what Leicester boss Ranieri had to say before the match:

"The table says there is no gap. However, everybody who knows football knows there is a big gap between Leicester and the other teams. This league is crazy. Tottenham, Stoke, Crystal Palace and West Ham - and I don't mention the big clubs. All these are fighting to achieve the European places. And Stoke is another tough match."

Stoke City have kept five clean sheets in their last eight Premier League away trips but the defence will have their work cut out to keep the likes of Mahrez and Vardy quiet today.

Mark Hughes makes two changes from the Stoke side which drew with Arsenal last week – the Potters are boosted by the return of Xherdan Shaqiri who has been hampered with a hamstring injury recently and Mame Biram Diouf takes the place of Bojan. The game has come too soon for forward Marko Arnautovic, however, who remains sidelined.

Leicester had made nine changes for the FA Cup clash with Spurs in midweek but today manager Claudio Ranieri fields an unchanged line-up to the one which drew 1-1 with Aston Villa last Saturday. Wes Morgan, who captains the side, returns along with Robert Huth, Ngolo Kante, Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy.
