📋 Team News: Leicester City

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Wilfred Ndidi (Knee Injury) is sidelined.

We are thinking that The Foxes look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, handing starts to Kasper Schmeichel, Timothy Castagne, Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, Luke Thomas, Youri Tielemans, K. Dewsbury-Hall, Ademola Lookman, James Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Jamie Vardy.

📋 Team News: Norwich City

Norwich City manager Dean Smith has to currently contend with reduced team options. Ozan Kabak (Hamstring Injury), Josh Sargent (Ankle Injury) and Adam Idah (Knee Injury) are not ready for selection.

We’re of the thinking that The Canaries might make use of a 4-3-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Tim Krul, Max Aarons, Grant Hanley, Ben Gibson, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Billy Gilmour, J. Lungi Soerensen, Lukas Rupp, Kieran Dowell, Teemu Pukki and Milot Rashica.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the view that Leicester City will probably create the chances to score more than once against Norwich City, who will be up against it scoring a goal of their own.
