Opponents Huddersfield currently sit twenty-first in the Championship table on 25 points. They are four points clear of the relegation zone. Having secured four points from their last five games. Having lost their last home game against Middlesbrough, they will be hoping to bounce back against the table toppers. Having only won once in their last seven outings, the confidence of the team may not be great.
Leicester City Injuries to Consider
Kelechi Iheanacho and Dennis Praet may once again miss out again having been suffering with muscular problems. There have been no new injury concerns following the victory in Cardiff. Callum Doyle was a named substitute last time out and there may be a starting place for him against the Championship strugglers.
With Wilfred Ndidi, Abdul Fatawu and Patson Daka all travelling to play for their respective countries at the AFCON tournament in The Ivory Coast, the manager will need to find alternatives for these first-team regulars over the coming weeks.
