Stevenage Vs Leicester Preview
Owing to the extended international break, Stevenage haven’t been in action since their brilliant 6-1 away victory at Walsall on September 22 in the first EFL Trophy Group J clash. On that famous night at the Bescot, Ben Broggio, Jordan Houghton, Wayna Marcal and a hat-trick from Michael Mellon helped down the Saddlers.
Amazing, Leicester also won 6-1 in their opening game. The Foxes walloped Fulham’s U21’s with goals from Bobby De Cordova-Reid, a brace from Tommy Watson and a treble from Admir Bristric at the King Power Stadium.

Stevenage Vs Leicester Team News
After a 15-day break, Stevenage have no new injuries that have been reported. Hat-trick hero from the opener Michael Mellon is expected to start in attack with Ben Broggio with fellow Walsall goalscorers Jordan Houghton and Wayna Marcal also featuring from the off.
Meanwhile, Leicester may opt to give more fringe players a run out in Hertfordshire. The likes of Ben Nelson and Jakub Stolarczyk are ruled out injured but Admir Bristric should get the nod up front with Connor Chaplin also earning some valuable minutes.
