Prutton, who made his forecast ahead of the game, believes a four-goal game is possible.
The Foxes have been outstanding throughout the season, despite a few slip-ups.
Their 3-1 victory over Swansea City in midweek moved them one step closer to regaining promotion to the Premier League at the first attempt, which must be their primary goal despite their inability to enhance their team during the January transfer window.
The crucial thing for them is that they kept their star players, namely Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who remained at the King Power Stadium despite being linked with several Premier League clubs in the closing days of the window.
They may have lost Cesare Casadei, but they should have enough squad depth to survive without the Italian, who made a positive impression but may not be sorely missed given his criticism during his time with Enzo Maresca’s team.
Meanwhile, Stoke strengthened their team by bringing in Daniel Iversen, Luke Cundle, Million Manhoef, and Niall Ennis.
The Potters can be sure that they will finish in a decent league position this season after strengthening various aspects of their squad, but despite their home advantage, they may be unable to secure three points this afternoon.
Stoke are the hosts in this clash and that will give them hope that they can give the Foxes a tough game.
However, Leicester have excellent squad quality and depth, and have been the best team in the division this term in terms of results and consistency.
Coventry City’s home success over Maresca’s team last month will give Stoke encouragement, but Prutton feels the Foxes will win 3-1 away this afternoon, as predicted in his Sky Sports column.
That would be a significant boost for the Foxes as they strive to capture first place and the league title.
Considering the strength of Leicester’s squad, it would be a real statement of intent if Stoke won today.
The Foxes aren’t invincible and that has been displayed on a few occasions this term.
But if Stoke did manage to get a win, it would probably be more impressive than Coventry’s win because the Foxes were down to ten men for a chunk of the game at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Even a draw wouldn’t be a bad thing for the Potters this afternoon.
However, a victory would help to raise spirits after consecutive league setbacks. The Potters will benefit from some of their new acquisitions.
