Bury V Leicester
So Leicester City makes the trip north this week to visit 'The Shakers' in the Carling Cup second round.
Leicester makes the trip following an eventful weekend which concluded in a 2-2 draw with Forest. Whereas Bury host the Foxes following a 2-0 away win to Wycombe.
Leicester and Bury have faced each other only once in the League Cup and that was again at Gigg Lane on the 23rd August 2005 (Round 1). Leicester walked away the winning side following a 3-0 win.
Goals from Joe Hamill (37), Richard Stearman (40) and a 61st minute penalty from Joey Gudjonsson ensured safe passage to the second round.
Leicester and Bury have played each other on 57 different occasions (all competitions) with the first encounter being Christmas Day in 1894.
The teams have amassed 188 goals over the years together with Leicester scoring 97 to the Bury total of 91. This gives an average of over three goals for every game played. And Leicester’s average at Gigg Lanes is just over 1.5 goals per match.
The last time Bury managed to gain a win over the Foxes was in the old English Div.2 in 1956; Bury won that day 3-1. Every encounter since has been a Leicester win.
Head to Head stats all competitions:
League Cup – Leicester wins =1 Bury wins =0
FA Cup – Leicester wins = 3 Bury wins =1
League – Leicester wins = 23, Bury wins = 19, Draws = 10
