With Leicester City preparing to take on Leeds United this weekend, Foxes of Leicester has predicted the east Midlanders’ lineup, which features Jonny Evans.

In the previous encounter between the two Premier League sides, Leeds were defeated heavily at home. The Foxes managed to dominate at Elland Road, scoring four and only conceding one from a goalscoring defender Leicester need to marshal well, Stuart Dallas.

Youri Tielemans netted a brace in November, while winger Harvey Barnes and striker Jamie Vardy bagged the other finishes.

Therefore, and with such fine form this season, Brendan Rodgers’ team will be confident of taking all three points at King Power Stadium.

Injuries and predicted Leicester City XI

Everyone and their dog knows that Leicester’s No.9 is sidelined after undergoing surgery on a hernia issue, so he’s out of the match. Ayoze Perez is expected to deputise again as the central forward.

Meanwhile, Rodgers announced Jonny Evans is “fine”; but confirmed that Wilfred Ndidi will not play:

"It’s just a slight tear [for Ndidi]. He will be [out for] a week to 10 days, which is unfortunate, but sometimes hamstrings can be much longer than that.Via lcfc.com"

Therefore, this is the lineup Foxes of Leicester predicts the Northern Irishman to select:

Kasper Schmeichel (captain); James Justin, Evans, Wesley Fofana, Timothy Castagne; Papy Mendy, Youri Tielemans; James Maddison; Harvey Barnes, Marc Albrighton; Perez.

Meanwhile, the Whites have a few injuries and unavailable players for Sunday’s clash: Diego Llorente, Robin Koch, Gaetano Berardi and Adam Forshaw won’t feature in the contest, as per Sky Sports. However, Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa said there are no fresh problems for his medical staff to worry about. It is likely Bielsa will start with the same eleven as his did in the last outing; one or two changes do occasionally occur.
