Final score: Stockport County 3–4 Leicester

Match preview

League One action on Saturday sees Stockport County welcome Leicester, with both sides looking to solidify their early season form. Stockport, fresh off a respectable start of one win and one loss, have shown they can find the net, bagging three goals in their opening two fixtures. Their home advantage will be crucial as they aim to build momentum.

Leicester, meanwhile, arrive with a more chequered recent record. While their overall League One campaign last season was challenging, reflected in a 26% win rate, their current form is showing signs of a potential upturn. A win, two draws, and two losses in their last five outings suggest a team fighting for consistency. Expect a tactical battle in midfield as Leicester look to control possession and Stockport aim to exploit any defensive vulnerabilities. The Hatters' early goal-scoring prowess against Leicester's historically leaky defence (68 conceded last season) could be the key narrative to watch.
