Foxes boss breaks Walkers hoodoo
Ian Holloway
Holloway hopes to keep Leicester's home form going
Leicester City manager Ian Holloway hopes to build on his side's improved home form when they face Preston.

The Foxes have won four of their nine games at the Walkers Stadium since Holloway's arrival from Plymouth.

"With all the pylons, I don't believe there is good energy around the place," he told BBC Radio Leicester:

"I wonder what some Chi master would say about this. But it's about the energy the players have, and about wanting the football."

Gareth McAuley is available again after being suspended for the 1-0 win at Cardiff.

Holloway is also bringing in a new player in loan, but he will not be at the club in time for the game.

"We've got one who will be in by Saturday. He's in an area I feel we need, and he will have something that the rest of us haven't got, which is a bit of lightning pace."

Preston are three points behind the Foxes in the Championship table and a point above the bottom three.

Defender Richard Stearman says the whole team realise the importance of the match. "This one is going to be a real six pointer.

They got a great win against Stoke, but stumbled at Palace, so we will certainly need the win."

You can hear the whole game live by listening to BBC Radio Leicester on 104.9FM.
