Issahaku Fatawu won't feature on Wednesday night for the Foxes due to a knee injury and Ricardo Pereira is also a doubt for the game.

Player to watch: Savinho
Savinho has more assists this season than any other Manchester City player and the Brazilian is our player to watch on Wednesday night.
Savinho, who joined Manchester City this season after impressing at Girona, has provided seven assists in the Premier League alone, more than Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva.
Will the Brazilian add more assists against the Foxes?
We're backing the Brazilian international to return to the Manchester City squad for the Leicester game and expect him to be at his creative best against a team with a poor defensive record.
