Foxes Camp
After securing two impressive away results before the international break, the Foxes will be looking for three points at home to East Midlands rivals Derby County.
Martyn Waghorn netted a wonder goal against Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena to level the M69 Derby after Sammy Clingan opened the scoring for the hosts. That game came off the back of a fine midweek victory over promotion favourites Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium. A late Lloyd Dyer strike was enough to secure victory for Leicester on the night.
The Foxes currently sit in 7th place, level on points with 6th place Sheffield United. Nigel Pearson will be looking for his side to continue their form and register a win in front of an expected full house at the Walkers Stadium this Saturday.

Derby Camp
Derby are currently 17th in the Coca-Cola Championship and go into this weekend's clash on the back of a 3-0 home win over Sheffield Wednesday
However, during their last away outing, the Rams were comprehensively beaten by a rampant Cardiff City side. Derby conceded six goals on the evening, making it their biggest defeat so far this season.
Nigel Clough will be looking for his team to repay the travelling Derby support with a good performance at the Walkers Stadium, where Leicester have lost just one game in the last twelve months.
