Leicester City head to Hillsborough Stadium on Monday for their Championship game with Sheffield Wednesday. Here is an update on the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.

Sheffield Wednesday won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 2-0 Championship defeat last time out to Stoke City. It seems likely that The Owls could use a 3-4-1-2 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Pierce Charles, Dominic Iorfa, Gabriel Otegbayo, Liam Palmer, Sean Fusire, Jarvis Thornton, Svante Ingelsson, Max Lowe, Jaden Heskey, Charlie McNeill and Jerry Yates.

Murphy Cooper, Liam Cooper and Guilherme Siqueira won’t be playing for Sheff Wed gaffer Henrik Pedersen.

In the game prior to this, Leicester City drew 2-2 in the Championship match with Preston North End. There’s a good chance that The Foxes seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Jakub Stolarczyk, Ricardo Pereira, Caleb Okoli, Jamaal Lascelles, Luke Thomas, Harry Winks, Oliver Skipp, Issahaku Fatawu, Divine Mukasa, Stephy Mavididi and Jordan Ayew.

Leicester manager Gary Rowett has multiple availability issues to deal with. Asmir Begovic (Ankle injury), Jannik Vestergaard (Groin surgery), Harry Souttar (Achilles tendon rupture), Victor Kristiansen (Knee injury) and Aaron Ramsey (Hamstring injury) can’t be considered.
