Team News

Leicester
Preston
  • Jannik Vestergaard is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season on Sunday, so expect Harry Souttar to start for the hosts.
  • Kasey McAteer will miss out through injury after picking up an issue in the win against Blackburn.
  • Enzo Maresca could make two further changes as he rotates his starting XI on Wednesday night with Yunus Akgün and Kelechi Iheanacho coming in for starts.
  • Ryan Lowe could make as many as three changes in midweek with Robbie Brady, Ben Whiteman and Will Keane all returning to the starting XI.
  • The Lilywhites have three confirmed absentees for the trip to the King Power Stadium.

Prediction

  • Leicester responded perfectly after being pegged back by Blackburn on Sunday afternoon, scoring twice late on to cap off a 4-1 away win at Ewood Park. With Ipswich and Preston both dropping points, Enzo Maresca's side now sit top of the Championship with a two-point cushion after notching eight wins in their opening nine league fixtures.
  • The Championship waved goodbye to its only remaining unbeaten record this season on Saturday afternoon as Preston were hammered 4-0 at Deepdale by West Brom. The Lilywhites have now dropped to third in the standings but remain unbeaten on their travels this campaign.
