Leicester City’s predicted line-up ahead of their trip to Millwall on Tuesday evening.
Leicester return to Championship action with an away trip to Millwall, who currently reside just two points above the relegation zone.
Enzo Maresca is expected to make wholesale changes from the win over Birmingham City, with a game against Plymouth Argyle on Friday to consider.
The Foxes sit at the summit of the Championship table and are well-placed to return to the top-flight, though, they can’t afford to slip up.
Ipswich Town reside just a point adrift of them and Leeds United two, so there is little margin for error in this incredible automatic promotion race.
Leicester City injury news ahead of Millwall clash
Maresca confirmed that both Ben Nelson and Tom Cannon are back in contention after returning from injury, so the only absentees heading into Millwall are Kasey McAteer and Harry Souttar.
McAteer has enjoyed a productive breakthrough campaign but he’s had his injury struggles. A reoccurring hamstring injury is plaguing his game time and he is expected to be out for another few weeks, as per BBC Radio Leicester.
Souttar picked up an injury on international duty and he will miss one to two weeks of action.
Leicester City predicted line-up v Millwall
Mads Hermansen will assume his usual spot in goal, though, in front of him we may see wholesale changes.
Ricardo Pereira will likely retain his place but Conor Coady and Ben Nelson may both get the opportunity to impress from the start, with Wout Faes and Jannik Vestergaard rested.
It’s a toss-up between Callum Doyle and James Justin at left-back but we’ve gone for the latter, who came on as a substitute against Birmingham.
Moving into midfield, the everpresent Harry Winks is expected to start with Wilfred Ndidi playing slightly ahead of him in a box-to-box role.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is another who may be rested, giving Yunus Akgun the chance from the first whistle after his impressive cameo on the weekend.
Akgun assisted Stepy Mavididi’s winner in the victory against Birmingham and looked threatening down the right.
Out wide, Leicester aren’t blessed with too many options, particularly with McAteer injured, so Abdul Fatawu and Mavididi should start.
Up top, Patson Daka misses out, with Jamie Vardy coming in to replace him, having not started the last two fixtures.
Leicester City (4-3-3): Hermansen; Pereira, Nelson, Coady, Justin; Akgun, Winks, Ndidi; Fatawu, Vardy, Mavididi.
