Paul Merson is predicting defeat for Leeds United at the King Power Stadium later this week. The former Arsenal midfielder admits he was impressed by the Whites display against his former club, but is worried about them.
Leeds have not picked up three points since their 3-0 win over Chelsea back in August, albeit their best performance of the season. Jesse Marsch's side have turned in impressed enough displays in recent weeks but have not yet come out on the winning side.
They travel to Leicester City looking to pick up a vital three points against a struggling Foxes side. Brendan Rodgers side have won just once this season with pressure mounting on the 49-year-old.

Merson told SportsKeeda: "I thought Leeds were unlucky against Arsenal, but they're now dropping down in the Premier League table. I'm worried for them at the moment - when you're near the bottom of the league, you cannot afford to miss penalties.
"Leeds did well at Palace for 45 minutes, and they need to put 90 minutes together. They play at a hundred miles an hour, and I don't know how they're going to do that for a full game.
"You'd expect Leicester to score goals at the very least but all of a sudden, they've been beaten by Bournemouth and have had a goalless draw at Palace. They've only scored one goal in their last two games and I expect to bounce back this week."
Prediction: Leicester City 2-0 Leeds United
