Team News

Leicester
Leeds
  • Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Ricardo Pereira and James Maddison are doubts to face Leeds on Saturday, strongly hinting the latter may not make the early kick-off.
  • Marc Albrighton is tipped to start at right-back should Pereira miss out, while Rodgers may go with an extra midfielder in the potential absence of Maddison.
  • Jamie Vardy returned from injury with a bang in midweek, directly contributing to both goals in their 2-0 win over Burnley, and Rodgers has hinted he will start here.
  • A 4-0 loss to Tottenham saw Marcelo Bielsa relieved of his duties at Elland Road and Jesse Marsch placed in charge.
  • Marsch endured a difficult spell with RB Leipzig earlier in the season before he left the German side in December.
  • The American comes into his first game as Leeds boss without Liam Cooper, Patrick Bamford, Kalvin Phillips and Leo Hjelde due to injury.
  • Marsch started his time at RB Leipzig with a 4-2-3-1 before changing to a three-man defence, so it remains to be seen how Leeds line up here.

Prediction

  • Leicester ended a five-game winless run in the league with a 2-0 victory at Burnley on Tuesday night as they seek to end the season strongly. They lost this fixture last season, so will be keen to make amends.
  • Leeds have now conceded more goals than any other Premier League team this season following their thumping at the hands of Tottenham on Saturday. Marcelo Bielsa paid the price for a six-game winless run with his job and the Whites are hoping to have better luck with Jesse Marsch at the helm.
  • However, Leeds may take some time to get up to speed with Marsch's demands and that'll play into Leicester's hands, particularly with Jamie Vardy now back in action.
