Claude Puel’s side will be aiming to maintain their positive recent form with a third Premier League win in a row against Cardiff
Leicester City hope to build on a remarkable run of form that has seen them beat both Chelsea and champions Manchester City back-to-back as they prepare for the visit of Cardiff City.
The Bluebirds drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park but only the woodwork kept them from losing three consecutive Premier League matches.
Cardiff sit three points clear of the drop in 17th but will be looking over their shoulders as Fulham host Huddersfield.
Meanwhile, Leicester will want to keep the pressure on the top six for as long as possible, currently seventh and just four points off Manchester United in sixth.

The return of Bobby Reid has somewhat eased Cardiff’s ongoing striker shortage, with makeshift centre-forward Callum Paterson joining Danny Ward and Kenneth Zohore on the sidelines.
Jazz Richards will be assessed ahead of the game but is unlikely to feature.

Ricardo Pereira hit a stunning strike as Leicester downed the champions 2-1 despite going behind to an early Bernardo Silva goal, with Marc Albrighton heading an equaliser in just five minutes later.
That coupled with Vardy’s shock winner against Chelsea has seen Foxes fans enjoy a week of unprecedented success.
However, the club’s star striker had just returned from a groin injury before playing a significant part of both those games, and the visit of relegation candidates Cardiff could represent an opportunity to hand the forward a rest.
Neil Warnock has had to steady the ship of late after a good spell that saw them win three out of five league fixtures before suffering back-to-back defeats against Watford and Manchester United, shipping eight goals in the process.
He shifted to a back five for the trip to south London and could stick with the formation for the trip to a Foxes side brimming with confidence.
