History of the Leicester City v Huddersfield Town fixture

Huddersfield travel to take on Leicester City at Walkers Stadium on Saturday afternoon, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 12 of the 26 previous games, with the hosts winning just 11.

The last time the two teams met at Leicester City was more than a decade ago, in April 1996, the Foxes carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division One match.
