Almost everyone can be considered, as thereโs just one fitness concern for the Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe to be concerned about from an otherwise complete group of players. Finlay Cross-Adair (traffic accident) will miss out.
๐๏ธ Team News: Leicester City
Due to a fully healthy squad ready to go, the Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca doesnโt have any fitness concerns to report ahead of this match.
๐ก Prediction
In this match, Leicester City have the ability to get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
At the other end, Preston North End could well find it tough getting on the scoresheet but we do see them being dangerous for periods.
Therefore, we are anticipating a controlled 1-3 winning margin for Leicester City at full-time.
