Leicester have had a brilliant festive period, beating Chelsea and then Manchester City, but this is probably a tougher game than either of those fixtures.
The emphasis will be on the Foxes to break down Cardiff, and there is also an expectation that Claude Puel's side will win.
They don't usually seem to perform as well in those circumstances, but Saturday should be different.
Cardiff were fortunate to get a point at Crystal Palace, who had 31 shots without managing a goal.
The Bluebirds' still have an awful away record, though, with two points and a total of five goals scored in nine away games this season, and I don't see them getting anything out of this game.

6 points from 2 games against 2 of the best teams in the top flight will have seen confidence soar at the King Power Stadium, and it was more than welcome after they failed to win 3 consecutive matches earlier in the month. Now, they find themselves up in 7th position and only 4 points adrift of Manchester United in 6th.
Saturday will be an all together different challenge for this side though. Cardiff aren’t going to be pressing forward anywhere near as much as Manchester City and Chelsea were, but that should afford The Foxes the chance to show their attacking credentials even more. Jamie Vardy is obviously the most notorious of attacking threats, and with 6 goals in his 15 appearances this season we fancy his chances here, hence us backing him as our anytime goalscorer prediction.
Cardiff came into this season as the prime candidates for relegation from the top flight, and while they are still expected to struggle they have actually found a reasonable footing in recent weeks. They picked up a point away to Crystal Palace on Boxing Day and have actually won 3 of their last 8 Premier League outings. This puts them in a precarious 17th position, but with a 3 point cushion on the drop zone.
However, The Bluebirds find points very hard to come by on the road. In fact, all 4 of their Premier League wins this season have come at the Cardiff City Stadium, and away from home they have lost 7 of their 9 matches.
I’m expecting the confident Leicester to take the points on Saturday, and I think it could be a comfortable victory.
