Leicester's record over the same stretch is far choppier. They've managed ten wins but also six losses, with some big swings either way, a 6-1 romp over Fulham's under-21s followed soon after by defeats to Stevenage and Peterborough.

Momentum, on recent evidence, points one way.

Comparative Team Statistics: Huddersfield vs Leicester

History goes back further than it helps

These two have faced each other many times, stretching back to Premier League and Championship meetings well over a decade ago, but that tells us little about two League One sides in 2026. Their most recent clash came in a League Cup tie in August 2025, which finished 2-2.

A clear gap in the table

Huddersfield currently sit third in League One with 19 points from ten games, having won five, drawn four and lost just the once. Leicester are down in 14th on 12 points from nine games, with three wins, three draws and three defeats so far this season.

That's a sizeable gap for late October, and it's worth keeping in mind as the two head toward their meeting in November.

Players to keep an eye on

Huddersfield's attack has been led by J. Taylor, who has scored five goals in seven appearances, with D. Sanches Fernandes and R. Ledson both contributing three assists apiece. For Leicester, L. Page has been the main creative spark with three assists from six games.

On the disciplinary side, Huddersfield's B. Mumba has picked up a yellow and a red card in just four matches, and Leicester's O. Skipp has also been sent off once in only two appearances. Worth watching if this one gets feisty.

Putting the pieces together

Line up the table position and recent form together and Huddersfield look the more settled side right now, sitting comfortably in the top four with wins piling up. Leicester have shown they can score goals in bursts, as that cup win over Fulham's youngsters and some big away scorelines prove, but they've also shipped goals in clumps, including defeats where they managed only one themselves.

If Huddersfield's defence, which has lost just once in ten league games, holds firm, this could be a tough afternoon for a Leicester side still trying to find consistency.
