  • Erol Bulut's men have won just one of their last five home league games ahead of one of their toughest tests of the season so far.
  • Leicester were on course for a priceless three points in the title race on Boxing Day before a stoppage-time Jannik Vestergaard own goal levelled the scoreline and earned Ipswich a point.
  • The gap between the two now stands at six points heading into gameweek 25, although the Foxes are now unbeaten in their last eight league outings.
