Leicester’s unbeaten Premier League home record is among the best in Europe
Thursday 3 November 2016 16:14, UK
When Leicester host West Brom on Super Sunday they will be defending the longest unbeaten home record in the Premier League.
The champions have gone 20 league games without defeat at the King Power Stadium - a sequence that dates back to their 5-2 loss against Arsenal in September 2015.
There are only four other Premier League teams currently on unbeaten home runs of more than four matches.

Liverpool have gone 11 games without losing at Anfield, while Merseyside neighbours Everton and league leaders Manchester City are on runs of eight without defeat.
Next on the list are Tottenham, but their five-game unbeaten run only extends back as far as the final home fixture of last season when they were beaten by Southampton.
Leicester's 20 matches without defeat compares favourably with many of the other current champions of Europe's major leagues.
La Liga champs Barcelona lost at the Nou Camp to Alaves earlier this season, while Paris St Germain and Bayern Munich's unbeaten runs stand at nine and 10 respectively.
But there are teams on better runs than Leicester. Italian champions Juventus have played 24 matches at home without defeat and so have Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid side.
But the most difficult place to go to and win also happens to be the ground that boasts Europe's highest average attendance.
Borussia Dortmund have not been beaten in their last 26 Bundesliga matches at the Westfalenstadion, a run dating back to April 2015 when Jurgen Klopp was still at the club.
Leicester have some tough tests before they can extend the sequence that far with Manchester City going to the King Power next month and the visit of Chelsea in January.
