Team News

Leicester
Sunderland
  • Enzo Maresca could rotate his strikers again on Tuesday night with Kelechi Iheanacho replacing Jamie Vardy up top.
  • Turkish winger Yunus Akgün picked up a knock during the win against Swansea but should be fit to make the matchday squad in midweek.
  • Dan Neil has served his suspension and will return to the starting XI for the trip to the King Power Stadium.
  • One further change is expected from the visitors with summer signing Nazarii Rusyn pushing for his first league start.

Prediction

  • Leicester looked for a moment to be facing a challenge after falling behind early on against Swansea on Saturday, but the Foxes came roaring back to clinch a comfortable 3-1 away win. Enzo Maresca's side are already looking untouchable with 33 points from a possible 36 and an 11-point cushion to Leeds in third place.
  • Sunderland failed to produce a response to their disappointing 4-0 home defeat against Middlesbrough when they travelled to Staffordshire on Saturday. The Black Cats were beaten 2-1 on the road by a struggling Stoke side, meaning they face the division's best team off the back of consecutive league defeats.
