Leicester will seek to end Coventry’s unbeaten start to the Championship season when the Sky Blues head to the King Power on Saturday lunchtime (12:30 BST).
While the Foxes have suffered a defeat in their opening five league games, they lie fourth, one point and two places ahead of Frank Lampard’s men, who have drawn three of their opening five fixtures, including each of the past two.

Leicester City are unbeaten in each of their past nine home league games against Coventry City (W7 D2), since losing 3-1 at Filbert Street in the Premier League in April 2001.
Coventry City beat Leicester City in their most recent league meeting in January last year, last winning back-to-back matches against the Foxes in the 2000-01 Premier League campaign under Gordon Strachan.
Between December and April last season, Leicester City lost nine consecutive home league matches, failing to score in every single defeat. Since May, the Foxes have won all four at the King Power, netting twice in every victory and keeping three clean sheets.
Coventry have scored 15 Championship goals this season, their most after five league games in a season since scored 16 in 2013-14 in League One. At this level, it’s their most since 1964-65 when they scored 16.
No player has more Championship goals this season than Coventry’s Haji Wright (five goals), with the American netting in all four starts in 2025-26. It’s as many goals as the Sky Blues scored as a team after five games in four of their previous five seasons (five in each of 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2024-25).
