When Wedneday come

After 3 losses in a row it is vital for Leicester to pick up a win against Sheff Wed tomorrow. Not only will it stop the rot and allow Leicester to pull away from the relegation zone. It was also take some of the pressure off Rob Kelly who has started to realise that managing a football team is not as easy as it seemed towards the end of last season.

Although Leicester seemed to have turned the corner in October by going undefeated and rising up the table, November has seen a slump in their form with only one solitary point being picked up. This however cannot be said about Sheffield Wednesday who have seen their performances dramatically improve since getting rid of Paul Sturrock and bringing in Brian Laws.

Sheffield Wed have only lost once in their last eight games and after beating Leicester at home only a month ago, they will be full of confidence going into the game.
