Conor Coady is still nursing a foot injury and the experienced defender isn't expected to return to the fold until September. Leicester could stick with the XI that beat Coventry last weekend.
Predicted Lineup for Leicester: Hermansen – Pereira, Faes, Vestergaard, Doyle – Ndidi, Winks, Dewsbury-Hall – McAteer, Mavididi, Vardy
Player to Watch – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
Midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall showcased his Premier League quality for recently relegated Leicester last weekend when he netted a brace against Coventry. The 24-year-old is one of several Foxes players that should be a dominant force in the second tier.
