Preview: Leicester City vs. Cardiff City

Leicester vs. Cardiff

Championship leaders Cardiff City will be eager to get their promotion campaign back on track on Saturday when they travel to Leicester City.

Malky Mackay's side suffered arguably the shock of the season last weekend when they were beaten 2-1 at home to bottom-placed Peterborough United.

Despite the loss, the Welsh club still have a two-point lead at the top of the standings.

Meanwhile, Leicester could move to within two points of the automatic promotion places if they can record their first win in three matches.

The game has come too soon for Cardiff's Kadeem Harris, who recently suffered the recurrence of an ankle injury, while Leicester have no fresh concerns.
