The Bees are heading to King Power Stadium on Friday night aiming to complete a Premier League double over the Foxes after their success in the reverse fixture at Gtech Community Stadium in November.
Before then, however, the head-to-head record had gone in City’s favour, with two wins and two draws in the previous four encounters. The west Londoners are yet to taste victory on Filbert Way, too.
It’s not a game that has been played with too much regularity over the years, either. This will be just the 35th competitive meeting in history, with plenty more stats on those matches from yesteryear below…
