Leicester City
James Justin was a fresh concern after he left the field against Arsenal with an ankle problem. The defender was later seen wearing a protective boot, which made his participation on Friday night a big doubt for the Foxes.
Beyond that, Ruud van Nistelrooy does not seem to have any new issues, with Abdul Fatawu and Ricardo Pereira being the only other players absent from selection. Whether the manager makes some important changes remains to be seen, as Woyo Coulibaly could come in for Justin at right-back, while Wout Faes and Caleb Okoli keep their central partnership alive.
Harry Winks might sit on the bench once again as the manager tends to trust Wilfred Ndidi and Boubakary Soumare in Leicester City’s midfield. There could be the idea of using Facundo Bounanotte in the attacking side of things, as the on-loan Brighton star could feature on the right wing, while Bila; El Khannouss and Stephy Mavididi will feature in the other attacking positions behind striker Jamie Vardy.
Brentford
Sepp van den Berg is the only fresh concern for Thomas Frank to worry about ahead of this trip to Leicester after the Dutchman sustained a knee injury against West Ham United. The versatile defender is yet to be ruled out, as he could face a late fitness test to determine his place in the squad.
In any case, while van den Berg suffered a problem, Frank’s side were boosted by the timely return of Ethan Pinnock, who could take his place at the heart of the defence alongside Nathan Collins. There are still some key players missing from action, including full-back pair Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey.
Vitaly Janelt and Christian Norgaard will assume the midfield positions as Mathias Jensen will continue to be on the bench. Frank would prefer an attacking trio of Bryan Mbeumo, Mikkel Damsgaard, and Kevin Schade behind striker Yoane Wissa.
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Hermansen; Coulibaly, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen; Soumare, Ndidi; Buonanotte, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy
Brentford possible starting lineup:
Flekken; Ajer, Collins, Pinnock, Lewis-Potter; Norgaard, Janelt; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade; Wissa
Prediction: Leicester City 1-3 Brentford
Leicester are unbeaten in four at home to Brentford, and have scored in 17 of the last 18 head-to-heads, suggesting their long wait for a home goal could end here. However, after losing 4-1 to the Bees in the reverse fixture, it is clear that past history is unlikely to come into the equation for this one, and it could be another tough evening for the hosts against one of the strongest away teams of late in the Premier League.
