FULL-TIME
Leicester 3-0 Preston
Leicester make it five wins in a row to move back to the summit and it's back-to-back defeats for Preston, who are now five points off the automatic promotion in third.
The Foxes become the first team since Sheffield United in 2005-06 to win nine of their first 10 games in the Championship.
The Blades, who went on to win 10 out of 11, ended up as runners-up in the second tier that season.
With the quality at their disposal, Leicester already look odds-on to seal an immediate return to the Premier League.
