Premier League Match Day #14
Stoke Strike Lucky With Stoppage Penalty
(10) Stoke City 1 – 1 Leicester City (14)
Goals:
Stoke: Bojan (pen 90+4) Foxes: Schlupp (79)
Shots/On Target: Stoke 13/7, Foxes 12/9
Possession: Stoke 13/7
Cautions: Stoke: N'Zonzi (86) Foxes: Wasilewski (8), De Laet (43)
Man of the Match: DL Ritchie De Laet 8.7

Form: Schmeichel 6.7, Moore 6.5, Simpson (inj 66) 7.4, Wasilewski 6.9, De Laet 8.7, King 7.3, Quinn 6.7, Schlupp 7.0, Knockaert 6.5, Vardy (sub 61) 6.4, Kramaric 6.7, Morgan (on 66) 6.5, Ulloa (on 61) 6.4

Notes: Heartbreaking. We thought we had all three points and another clean sheet until Wasilewski gave away a penalty deep into stoppage time. Other than that misstep, there were plenty of positives in our play once again. Resolute at the back, sometimes adventurous going forward. We drop a place in the table, but we're not disheartened by this result.

Suspension News
Ritchie De Laet has picked up an automatic one match suspension after collecting his fifth yellow card of the season.

Ulloa Wants Out?
Reports are emanating out of King Power Stadium that forward Leonardo Ulloa is unhappy at his lack of playing time and could be looking to agitate a move away from a team he just joined this summer. He's made 11 appearances, but only one start. With Roger Berisha's tendency to favor Andrej Kramaric, Ulloa has been used exclusively as a sub.

Injury News
Danny Drinkwater sustained a bruised thigh after a challenge in training. He'll miss 8-11 days.

Mahrez Returns
Winger Riyad Mahrez has returned to full training after missing two months with a hip injury.

Premier League Match Day #15
Tigers Claw Back to Steal Point From Foxes
(9) Hull City 2– 2 Leicester City (15)
Goals:
Hull: Brady (19), Hernández (83) Foxes: Vardy (11), Wood (55)
Shots/On Target: Hull 18/12, Foxes 13/6
Possession: Foxes 55%
Cautions: Hull: Brady (90+2) Foxes: Huth (15)
Man of the Match: WBL Robbie Brady 8.7

Form: Schmeichel 7.0, Simpson 6.8, Moore 6.6, Huth 7.1, Schlupp 6.6, Knockaert (sub 62) 6.5, King 6.8, Vardy 7.1, Kramaric 6.5, Wood 7.8, Cambiasso (on 62) 6.6

Notes: We didn't deserve this one. Kramaric struggled on the left and Knockaert was bad in the middle so our attack never really meshed and worked together. A draw was the likeliest result at that point and here we are.

Notes:
A very solid win and we're now four points clear of the drop and sitting snugly in 13th at the moment. We're just two points out of 10th! Heady days for Leicester City since the grim start to the campaign. Andy King was excellent throughout and was our best player today, Schlupp was also very strong. We run the rule on possession here as well. We are now unbeaten in five matches.

Upson Returns
DC Matthew Upson has begun full training following his broken ankle.

James Concerned About Playing Time
MC Matty James is concerned about his lack of playing time after coming off of a two month injury. Curious. I tell him I'll try and arrange a transfer.
