Those of us in the Blue Army can look forward having Leicester City back in action at the weekend. What joy! Please excuse my sarcasm, but it has become far more difficult to enjoy watching the Foxes at present. My blood pressure suffered whilst we were a generally winning team that enjoyed competing in various European competitions a few seasons ago.
So I'm always worried and never relaxed when it comes to an LCFC match. Whereas even some of our more chilled out supporters can likley now empathise a bit more keenly. That's because it is harder to watch or even back the unfortunate King Power outfit right now; City fans are suffering. In addition to that element, the risk of a points deduction means the situation could realistically get worse before things possibly and eventually get better.
Nevertheless, here on site we will certainly attempt to keep the faith, however hard that sentiment is to generate these days. A win at Derby County could propel City up to 10th from sixteenth place in the table - there you go. Although, many of us would probably predict another loss for Leicester on Saturday at Pride Park Stadium, if pushed. Irrespective of my view, here is your match preview.
