🗞️ Team News: Leicester City

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just one fitness concern for the Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca to be concerned about from a near full-strength squad. Hamza Choudhury (Ill) misses out.

In all likelihood, The Foxes should make use of the 4-3-3 system for this game, handing starts to Mads Hermansen, Ricardo Pereira, Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard, Callum Doyle, Wilfred Ndidi, Harry Winks, K. Dewsbury-Hall, Abdul Issahaku, Jamie Vardy and Stephy Mavididi.

🗞️ Team News: Bristol City

Thanks to a largely available group, there’s just the sole fitness issue for the Bristol City gaffer Nigel Pearson to be concerned with. Tommy Conway (Hamstring Injury) won’t be in action.

It’s our belief that The Robins might play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Max O'Leary, George Tanner, Rob Dickie, Kal Naismith, Cameron Pring, Matthew James, Joe Williams, Mark Sykes, Jason Knight, Samuel Bell and Nahki Wells.
