Preview: Doncaster Rovers vs. Leicester City

Doncaster vs. Leicester

Leicester City travel to Doncaster Rovers on Saturday hoping to continue their momentum at the top of the Championship table.

The Foxes have won four of their last five fixtures by a 2-1 scoreline, and manager Nigel Pearson will be confident that his side can leave the Keepmoat Stadium with three points.

Doncaster boss Paul Dickov has witnessed his side's attempts to move up the table boosted by the loan acquisition of Manchester United striker Federico Macheda.

The Italian has already scored three times for his new side, and Dickov will be hoping that the 22-year-old can continue his impressive run against the East Midlands outfit.

However, Doncaster have failed to win in their last four matches at home.
