Nigel Pearson's side have made a better start to the season than we have and last time out at home sensationally came from 3-1 behind against Manchester United to win 5-3, albeit with a little help from referee Mark Clattenburg.
Leicester won promotion just a short time before we did and Pearson is familiar enough with us to have said today: "We expect it to be a tough game. We know them from last season.
"They were a side who did exceptionally well based on not just a hard-working ethic but they showed qualities last year of being mentally and technically competitive and I would fully expect them to show that throughout this season as well.
"We are very conscious of the fact that whoever we play we need to give due respect to. Can we do it against other styles of play? I think yes we can, we proved that last season.
"The pressure to play in some of the big games is probably not as much on ourselves to perform in those games. We're well aware of the fact that we have to pick up enough points up against sides who are probably coupled with is in terms of stature.
"Those are the sorts of games we need to pick up a lot of points from because history would bear that out as being an important factor in teams' seasons.
"It's always interesting how people bill games. For us it's our next opportunity to win three points. It would be foolish to think it would be an easy game and I imagine they'd be looking at it in a similar vein. "
Pearson continued: "Every game is dangerous, they've got some good players but they'll be looking at it in a similar fashion to us and that will be about getting your own performance right. When you consider we were the two sides that were the most consistent throughout last season, added to that of Derby's run from just before Christmas, last year was phenomenal.
"I think over the course of the season both ourselves and Burnley were I think in a lot of people's eyes the most consistent. I don't know whether people will bill us differently or not. I think the most important thing is that there will be clear goals that we need to achieve with the players that we have this year.
"I fell we've got a pretty strong squad this season with a few options and the big thing from our point of view is to get our own performance right. If we do that we can cause them problems."
Strangely, despite the Clarets going 1-0 down last season to a disputed penalty before a Danny Ings equaliser, Pearson added: "The game here last season was a draw and they scored first. It was a very tight game so who's to know how it will go.
"Ultimately for us we want to get back to winning ways, we want to get back to applying pressure on other teams around us and that's what it's about.
"We're at home and we want to play as well as we can and certainly it would be nice to go into the international break on the back of a home win and that's what we'll be trying to do."
Sean Dyche has been counting the injuries this week and dealing with the media and supporter reaction to our 4-0 defeat at West Brom last Sunday and our inability to find the net.
"We are only under the microscope because we haven't scored since the opening day of the season," he said. "I've mentioned it many times that it's my job to see through the opinion and the noise as I call it on the outside of it.
"We look at games in many different ways, objectively with the sound down so there is no emotion in it. From other eyes we get people who come and watch and give a cold opinion if you like of just seeing us.
"We also debrief with the players and behind all that we have the prozone stats to work with. We look at them and use them for a guide as to how the team is really operating, not the perception of it.
"One example of that is six games into last season we had 80 efforts at goal and 40 on target. Bearing in mind, with all due respect to Yeovil, we played them and had 21 in one game.
"This season after six games in the Premier League we've had 72 efforts at goal and 37 on target which is statistically a higher amount. It would be a lot harder to take as a manager if the stats are not backing up what you think you're seeing.
"We're not a zealot to stats but as I say we use them to guide us and if those stats weren't as strong as what they are then we'd start questioning ourselves."
Speaking about Leicester's Premier League start at home which has seen them draw against Arsenal and Everton as well as beat Manchester United, Dyche added: "I'm not surprised at all, they've done very well last season and they'd done very well this season.
"They've brought in good players to add to the ones they already have and I think they're challenge now is to continue what they're doing.
"We all know that expectation rises quickly and despite and awkward result last week, they'll be looking to correct that. We'll be looking to correct our performance at West Brom in order to get what we want so it makes for another exciting challenge for us."
