Leicester City's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. Foxes have conceded a disappointing 16 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Leicester City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclaycard Premiership with a return of just 20 points from their 24 games thus far. Bolton Wdrs.'s 33 points from 24 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
