Leicester City entertain (hopefully in hostile fashion) Portsmouth on Saturday evening in a Championship clash. The match is set to be a hotly contested event, with the Foxes and Pompey both respectively coming into the fixture with confidence. Not to mention the two sides winning last time out. The King Power will likely be rocking this weekend with a noisy visiting club facing off against the passionate Leicestershire fan base.
John Mousinho's men managed to bypass promotion favourites Middlesbrough thanks to a 1-0 win. That was a simply excellent outcome and performance for the side from the South Coast of England. In the meantime, the East Midlanders travelled to Swansea City in Wales and claimed the three points. A marvellous overall display secured victory for Marti Cifuentes' team. Let's hear what an expert predicts for the occasion.
Though, before we go to Sky Sports' well-known pundit David Prutton for a forecast, we should address another Leicester-related story. Unfortunately a loaned Fox has sustained an injury whilst playing with his temporary team. We will report on and assess the matter as usual.

So, what does Prutton expect from LE2 when Portsmouth arrive tomorrow? First of all, he is an advocate of boss Mousinho and his methods.
"It’s a big football club, a proud football club, and a noisy football club who always travel well. It will be a cracking game. I’m going to go for Leicester 2 Pompey 1."Portsmouth.co.uk
The former can also envision the Pompey faithful making a racket. Yet, ultimately, Prutton appears to have made the right call: 2-1, in Leicester's favour.
Star loanee injured
Nathan Opoku is currently on loan with Newport County AFC; which is also a Welsh side. He's been overshadowed by fellow Foxes teammate Sammy Braybrooke somewhat.
"NEWPORT County AFC have suffered an injury blow before Saturday's Rodney Parade showdown with bottom club Cheltenham Town with the news that striker Nathan Opoku will be sidelined for a number of weeks."Argus
Although Opoku was said to be performing well, too. The Rodney Parade outfit next play Cheltenham Town. Sadly the 24-year-old has been ruled out and returned to his parent club.
