Harvey Barnes has scored in all three of his Premier League matches against Leeds United. Only two players have done so in in four: Hall of Fame inductees Alan Shearer (1992-1995) and Thierry Henry (2002-2004).
Leeds are unbeaten in their last five league matches at Leicester (W2 D3). Having won this fixture 3-1 last season, they can win consecutive league trips to the King Power Stadium for the first time in the Premier League.
Patson Daka has been involved in six goals in his last six appearances at home in all competitions, scoring five and assisting one. Across the season, no player has scored more home goals for Leicester than the Zambian’s six.
This will be Jesse Marsch’s first Premier League match as Leeds head coach. Including caretakers, six of the last seven Leeds managers have lost their first in the Premier League match. The exception was Terry Venables, who oversaw a 3-0 win over Manchester City in August 2002. Marsch is the third American to manage in the Premier League, after Bob Bradley (11 matches with Swansea in 2016) and David Wagner (60 with Huddersfield, 2017-19).
