Team News

Leicester
Cardiff
  • Enzo Maresca could hand a debut to Chelsea loanee Cesare Casadei, who impressed at this level during his loan spell with Reading last season.
  • Victor Kristiansen is back fit and will return to the bench when Cardiff travel to the King Power Stadium this weekend.
  • Jakub Stolarczyk will retain his place in between the sticks with first-choice goalkeeper Mads Hermansen still sidelined.
  • Erol Bulut could make two changes to the side that faced QPR last weekend with left-back Jamilu Collins and versatile forward Callum Robinson both in contention for starts.
  • Ivorian winger Yakou Meite will join Joe Ralls, Ryan Allsop and Romaine Sawyers on the Cardiff injury list as he continues to manage a hamstring problem.

Prediction

  • Leicester's performance against Huddersfield was far from pretty last weekend, but the Foxes came out with the three points thanks to a late Stephy Mavididi goal. Saturday's hosts are still finding their rhythm under new manager Enzo Maresca, but have still claimed three wins from a possible three in all competitions this season.
  • Cardiff failed to build on their opening day point against recently relegated Leeds when they welcomed QPR to the Millennium Stadium last time out. Erol Bulut's men are yet to win a competitive game in 90 minutes this season, and this game represents another tough test for the away side.
