Another daunting prospect awaits Leicester City Football Club and its supporters on Tuesday night. That's because Middlesbrough, who sit a fairly comfortable second in the Championship table at the moment, are due. Not to mention Leicester's recent woes on the field of play contributing to a generally ominous expectation around King Power Stadium.
And the situation really should not be like this: I'm not suggesting that the Foxes should have been able to walk England's tier two whatsoever, but the Blue Army faithful could have expected more than this. Much more. For example, fans should be looking up the table and dreaming, not looking downward concerned.
Fixtures such as the upcoming clash with Boro would usually be relished by the LCFC fan base. I would actually say that we are now partially dreading another opportunity for our beloved team to be shown up again. Yet it could all turn around for under pressure City head coach Marti Cifuentes and his men if they obtain a win tonight by any means.
In addition to that, Cifuentes would probably have to be victorious in a couple of successive matches in order for speculation and scrutiny surrounding his position to desist. To that end, we can now inform both outfits' support of the East Midlands side's preparations for the important clash. Here is our predicted Leicester lineup, thanks to injury news. Furthermore, I have looked up the kick-off time, along with TV and streaming information if applicable.
