Leicester
- Despite declaring Junior Firpo available, Marcelo Bielsa didn't include him in the matchday squad for last weekend's 2-1 win over Norwich.
- Raphinha and Jamie Shackleton were both fit to start last weekend's win leaving just Robin Koch, Luke Ayling and Patrick Bamford as confirmed absentees for the home side.
- Jack Harrison played as the centre forward with Rodrigo in the absence of Bamford last time out. The latter will serve a one-match ban with his next booking in the competition.
- Ayoze Perez returned from illness in Leicester's 1-1 draw with Spartak Moscow on Thursday but James Maddison and Harvey Barnes missed out and remain doubts here.
- Wilfred Ndidi made a surprise return from injury in midweek having been ruled out until after the international break previously. He will challenge Boubakary Soumare for a spot in midfield.
- Ricardo Pereira missed out for the second game in a row through injury but Rodgers believes he will be fine to return here. Luke Thomas is on standby.
- Jamie Vardy missed a penalty off the bench on Thursday night but there are no doubts he will start against Leeds here.
