The EFL Championship continues with a crucial clash at the King Power Stadium as Leicester City host Norwich City on matchday 35. Both sides are fighting for very different objectives: Leicester are desperate to climb out of the relegation zone, while Norwich aim to consolidate their mid-table position and keep their recent momentum alive. With both teams showing contrasting forms, this encounter promises to be an intriguing battle between a side seeking redemption and another looking to extend its winning streak.

Leicester City’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Leicester City enter this fixture sitting 22nd in the Championship standings, a position that reflects their ongoing struggles this season. Despite a promising start to 2026, which included two wins in three matches across all competitions, the Foxes have since endured a difficult run. They are winless in their last nine games (four draws and five defeats), with eight of those coming in league action. Their most recent outing was a 1-1 draw away at Middlesbrough, a result that at least halted a losing streak but did little to ease relegation concerns.

Under new head coach Gary Rowett, who has overseen just two matches so far, Leicester have shown glimpses of improvement but remain far from their best. Home form has been particularly worrying, with three consecutive defeats at the King Power Stadium. Defensive issues continue to plague the team — they have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 28 league matches, and in 29 of their last 30 across all competitions. This vulnerability at the back has been a major factor in their current predicament.

However, Leicester’s matches rarely lack entertainment. Over 1.5 total goals have been scored in each of their last 24 fixtures, including all of their last 13 home games in the Championship. Moreover, both teams have found the net in 19 of their last 21 league encounters, underlining their attacking potential despite defensive frailties. With an average of 1.4 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per game this season, Leicester’s matches tend to be open and unpredictable.

• Leicester City’s Championship record: 10 wins, 10 draws, 14 defeats.


• Average goals scored: 1.4 per match; conceded: 1.6 per match.


• Over 0.5 goals at half-time in 26 of their last 28 league games.


• Both teams scored in 19 of their last 21 Championship fixtures.

Norwich City’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Norwich City arrive in Leicester full of confidence after a strong run of results that has lifted them to 17th place in the table. The Canaries have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, including a convincing 2-0 home victory over bottom-placed Sheffield Wednesday. That result marked their third win in four league outings, showing a team that has rediscovered its rhythm at a crucial stage of the season.

Norwich’s recent performances have been built on a solid balance between attack and defense. Over their last five matches, they have averaged 2.2 goals scored per game while conceding just 0.6. Their away form has also been impressive — only one defeat in their last seven trips (four wins, two draws) highlights their resilience on the road. This consistency away from home could prove decisive against a Leicester side struggling to make their home advantage count.

Throughout the season, Norwich have maintained a steady record of 12 wins, 6 draws, and 16 losses, scoring an average of 1.3 goals per match and conceding 1.3. They have also been involved in lively second halves, with over 0.5 goals scored after the break in 35 of their last 39 matches. This tendency suggests that the game could open up as it progresses, especially given Leicester’s defensive record.

• Norwich City’s Championship record: 12 wins, 6 draws, 16 defeats.


• Average goals scored: 1.3 per match; conceded: 1.3 per match.


• Over 0.5 goals in the second half in 35 of their last 39 matches.


• Four wins in their last five games across all competitions.
