The following match is totally insignificant to Leicester City and their fans. If Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and Jon Rudkin are not careful, they'll make the East Midlands club altogether insignificant in its entirety! They have made vast inroads in that respect, to the detriment of the institution and the profound chagrin of the Foxes faithful.
Indeed, the narrative surrounding King Power Stadium has shifted from the miraculous to the mundane, or nightmarish. The club is grappling with the fallout of confirmed relegation that has left them adrift in the lower reaches of the Championship.
Meanwhile Millwall, Leicester's opponents on Friday night, are staging an unlikely but serious promotion bid. They occupy third place in the table and breathe down the necks of the automatic places.
Just pause to contemplate the sheer cognitive dissonance of the current landscape: imagine the Lions in the Premier League, and Leicester in League One for a moment. It is utterly bonkers!
Kick-off time, television and streaming information
The Londoners arrive in the East Midlands with everything to play for; a stark contrast to the hollow atmosphere surrounding the hosts. Supporters wishing to witness this collision of differing trajectories can tune in to Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, with the encounter scheduled for an 8pm kick-off.
Leicester City injuries
The personnel situation at Leicester only adds to the prevailing sense of gloom. Gary Rowett has suggested that Jordan James may never feature for the club again to prevent him from a long-term problem; sadly, the Wales international isn't likely to remain a Fox as the club prepare for life in the third tier.
In true, unhelpful fashion, Rowett proceeded to state that two fresh issues were incurred during training, whilst failing to disclose the names of those affected. At present, Victor Kristiansen, Caleb Okoli, and Ben Nelson are the only named footballers expected to be missing from the matchday squad. Spectators will only be informed of who the mystery Foxes are when the teams sheet is announced.
Should the Leicestershire team manage to cobble together a cohesive unit, the predicted XI remains a subject of much debate. For example, youngsters like Louis Page are heavily requested, as is logical going forward. A possible starting line-up for the home side could consist of a 4-2-3-1:
Possible XI
Jakub Stolarczyk; Luke Thomas, Jamaal Lascelles, Jannik Vestergaard, Ricardo Pereira; Oliver Skipp, Hamza Choudhury; Jeremy Monga, Divine Mukasa, Abdul Fatawu; Jordan Ayew.
