The Championship meeting at The King Power Stadium on Friday sees hosts Leicester City ready themselves for the visit of opponents in Preston North End, and we have the latest player updates plus predicted line ups available.

Leicester City head into this fixture after a 0-0 Championship stalemate versus Watford. We are thinking that The Foxes look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Jakub Stolarczyk, Ricardo Pereira, Caleb Okoli, Jamaal Lascelles, Luke Thomas, Harry Winks, Oliver Skipp, Issahaku Fatawu, Jordan James, Stephy Mavididi and Patson Daka.

Victor Kristiansen, Asmir Begovic, Jannik Vestergaard, Harry Souttar and Aaron Ramsey won’t be able to feature for Leicester manager Gary Rowett.

How Leicester City could look versus Preston North End

Preston North End will go into the match following a 3-1 Championship win with the downing of Stoke City in their most recent fixture. We believe The Lilywhites could decide to make use of a 3-1-4-2 formation by sending out Daniel Iversen, Jordan Storey, Liam Lindsay, Andrew Hughes, Ben Whiteman, Pol Valentin, Alfie Devine, Andy Moran, Andrija Vukcevic, Milutin Osmajic and Lewis Dobbin.

Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom has some current player fitness concerns. Robbie Brady (Tendon irritation) and Jamal Lewis (Knee injury) will not be playing here.
