Preview: Leicester City vs. Derby County

Sports Mole previews the Championship game between Leicester City and Derby County on Saturday.

Promotion-chasing Leicester City will be looking to return to winning ways on Saturday when they host Derby County at the King Power Stadium.

Nigel Pearson's side suffered their first defeat in five Championship matches on Tuesday when they went down 1-0 to Leeds United away from home.

That loss means that Leicester are now five points behind leaders Cardiff City in fourth.

On the other hand, Nigel Clough's Derby are 12th in the league standings with 27 points from 19 matches and will head into Saturday's clash on the back of an encouraging 1-1 home draw with Cardiff.

There are no new injury doubts for either side.
