Championship football returns once again in midweek, and Leicester City and Preston North End face off at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday night.

FOOTBALLLEAGUEWORLD VIDEO OF THE DAY

The Foxes come into this game in tremendous form, winning their last four league games on the bounce.

Their latest victory was Sunday’s 4-1 win over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, a game that was closer than the scoreline suggests.

However, Leicester’s firepower came out on top, and it resulted in them returning to the top of the table with 24 points.

The Foxes now welcome Preston, who suffered their first defeat in the league this season, a crushing 4-0 demolition at the hands of West Bromwich Albion.

Despite Saturday’s result, it has been an excellent start to the campaign for the Lilywhites, and they will be eager to put it right when they face Leicester on Wednesday night.

Leicester didn’t have too many injury concerns heading into their clash with Blackburn, but after their victory, it seems the Foxes may have suffered a blow.

Kasey McAteer didn’t start the game at Ewood Park but came on to replace Issahaku Fatawu in the 58th minute. However, the substitute had to be substituted, as it appeared McAteer pulled his hamstring.

It is unclear how bad the injury is, but Enzo Maresca is likely going to give an update on the injury ahead of this clash. Another player who Leicester fans will want to hear an update on is summer signing Tom Cannon, who has yet to appear for the Foxes.

Maresca will have a big call to make on who leads his attack, as both Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho scored on Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile, the visitors come into this game on the back of a disappointing result, but Ryan Lowe will be keen not to rip up what has done so well for them this season.

Preston received a boost before the game, as Will Keane was fit enough to be on the bench and came on with 25 minutes to go. So, the forward could be in line to return to the starting XI on Wednesday.

Midfielder Ben Whiteman also got more minutes under his belt on the weekend, and he could be a player pushing to start for Lowe’s side.
