Leicester City host Peterborough United in League One tonight, with the hosts having just lost 1-2 in the EFL Trophy while the visitors just won 4-1 in the same competition. The two teams therefore come into the game in very different shape. Leicester City have not won in the league in two straight games, but their home attack still creates chances consistently, averaging 5.9 shots on target per game over their last 10, and enjoying 67% possession. Peterborough United, meanwhile, have not travelled well this season, scoring just 4 goals in 8 games, and a defence that has conceded 13 goals is the reason they need to sit deeper and tighter in this one. If Leicester City score first from a long spell of possession, the game could become one-sided and the pressure on the visitors' back line will grow heavier. But if Peterborough United take the lead first, they will drop deep and play on the counter, which would immediately make life much harder for the hosts.
