Since Leicester's promotion to the Premier League in 2014, this fixture has produced 34 goals - second only to Arsenal v Liverpool (38) during that period.
And there has been only one goalless draw in the 96 league meetings between the teams back in March 1948.

Claude Puel, whose side have put together a seven-game unbeaten run, said: "It's never a good time to play a top of the table team. They have a big squad. They have international players.
"It's not a problem for them to play every three or four days. We will need lots of quality, with and without the ball.
"We had good performances against United, Arsenal and Liverpool without having success. I hope we can find the solution."
