Leicester City will look to keep their lingering play-off hopes alive in their first game since Marti Cifuentes was sacked when they welcome relegation-battling Charlton Athletic on Saturday (kick-off 12:30 GMT).
The Foxes, who will have Andy King in temporary charge, are 14th and six points adrift of the top-six after just two wins in their past eight games (D1 L5).
The 19th-placed Addicks are only three points clear of the drop zone and have won just twice in 14 games (D3 L9).
Leicester will be looking to achieve a league double over Charlton for the first time since 1981-82 (also in the second division), having won 1-0 at The Valley earlier this season.
Charlton have only won one of their past 10 away league matches against Leicester (D5 L4), with that lone victory coming in February 2013 under Chris Powell (a 2-1 win in the Championship).
Leicester haven't kept a clean sheet in the Championship since a 0-0 draw with league leaders Coventry in September 2025, going 23 matches without one. Since the start of last season, they have the lowest clean sheet percentage (9%) of any team in England's top four tiers (6/67).
Since the start of November, only West Brom have fewer points (1) in Championship away games than Charlton (2). The Addicks are one of only three sides without an away win in this period (D2 L6), along with West Brom and Sheffield Wednesday.
Abdul Fatawu has the most goal involvements and assists for Leicester in the Championship this season (13 – 6 goals, 7 assists), while his 74 completed dribbles are at least 22 more than any other player in the division (Mikey Johnston, 52).
