Leicester City welcome Reading at King Power Stadium, Leicester, Leicestershire on Saturday, Jan 9 at 4:00 PM in a League 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Leicester City come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Reading, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Leicester City face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Reading have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Leicester City a slight edge, but Reading are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
