davieG Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 HEAD TO HEAD Overall, the two clubs have met 38 times previously, with all but one of those games coming in the league. Leicester's home record against the Hatters comprises 11 wins, 5 draws and just 3 defeats. EARLY MEETINGS The first ever clash, at Filbert Street in September 1900, was also County's inaugural league fixture. The game resulted in a 2-2 draw. In fact, it took Fosse four attempts to register their first home win over the Hatters. RECENT HISTORY Prior to this season, the most recent league clashes came back in 1924-25. The renamed City celebrated their first ever Second Division crown with a 4-0 romp at Filbert Street on the final day of the campaign. Last August, the Hatters visited the Walkers Stadium in the League Cup, for a game settled by a single Steve Howard strike. The league encounter at Edgeley Park, also last August, ended goalless. BIGGEST WINS There have been plenty of goals in previous clashes. The Hatters ran out 6-2 winners in April 1910, while two of those previous encounters have ended 5-4, both in favour of Leicester. SEQUENCES City have won both of the last two meetings in Leicester. MARKSMEN No player has yet scored a hat-trick in a league clash between the clubs. City's Johnny Duncan twice netted braces, as did Albert Waterall of Stockport. Waterall, who also once contributed an own goal to City, was the brother of former Fossil, Tom Waterall. DEBUTANTS Amazingly, no less than 17 players have made their Leicester league debuts against the Hatters, with the most recent being David Martin and Nicky Adams in the League Cup tie earlier this season. FOOT IN BOTH CAMPS The smattering of players to have represented both clubs over the years includes George Armstrong, George Carr, Paul Cooper, Kevin Ellison, Conrad Logan, Chris O'Grady, Andy Welsh, Winston White, Jimmy Willis, Frank Worthington and Steve Yates.

It's funny but I've always thought of Luton Town as The Hatters. How many "Hatters" are there?
Corky Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 C'mon City, let's get six points from these two home matches
maddog Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 Well we haven't scored more than 1 goal in a home match since Huddersfield and that feels like ages ago. 1-1, 0-0, 0-0 in the last 3 was very poor. I really hope we can do what we did against Leyton Orient, Southend, P'Boro, Walsall, Cheltenham, Stevenage, and Hartlepool and win by 3 or more goals.
Koke Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 It's funny but I've always thought of Luton Town as The Hatters. How many "Hatters" are there? I've also always referred to Luton as the Hatters. Pardon my ignorance to Stockport fans, but I never knew they were called The Hatters as well.
Monk Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 2-0 win tonight please, I fancy Howard bagging a brace this evening! Let the League One Promotion Carnival roll onwards!
lefox Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 2-0 win tonight please, I fancy Howard bagging a brace this evening! That's my bet this evening, I'm on a 3 match roll once again, praise to max!
C-man Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 I'm off to watch Sheffield Wednesday vs Reading tonight, lets hope I miss a great game and a good night for City!! Come on you blues!
Monk Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 That's my bet this evening, I'm on a 3 match roll once again, praise to max! Care to split 50% of the winnings with me then??
RowlattsFox Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 I'm expecting another draw tonight, they concede very few away and we're hardly prolific at home, 1-1. Hope I'm wrong, come on city.
Simi Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 I'm expecting another draw tonight, they concede very few away and we're hardly prolific at home, 1-1. Hope I'm wrong, come on city. Agree, sadly. Could really do with two home wins in a row, would stand us in great strength for a tough few games.
Hitesh Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 Perfect opportunity to getting back to winning ways and stop this dull rot at home! Come on City!!
MC Prussian Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 I would like us winning this one - perfect start to the gameweek and then Cheltenham... Hey, I'm not saying six points in the bag by Saturday, oh no.

StanSP Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 id like to see max start too - just bet a fiver on a three-two city win Odds must be pretty low for that. What do you win if we do win 3-2?
colbo68 Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 Odds must be pretty low for that. What do you win if we do win 3-2? approx 156/157 quid
Asha Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 Odds must be pretty low for that. What do you win if we do win 3-2? I bet you'd get very decent odds on a 3-2 win to be honest.
Legend_in_blue Posted 3 March 2009 Posted 3 March 2009 I'm looking forward to this one. Weather's good for it too. Enjoy everybody! Easy win. 3-0. I'm off!
