Good morning Foxes fans; and to supporters of any other teams who happen to be gracing our website - I suppose! It is matchday in the Championship, and Leicester City have an important game (every fixture is vital to win for LCFC and those chasing Premier League promotion) versus Portsmouth today (Saturday, October 18).
Pompey are currently just below midtable in 14th place; a position they would surely love to improve against the fairly high-flying Leicestershire outfit. However, studious and clearly dedicated head coach Marti Cifuentes surely has other ideas. Obviously Cifuentes is planning to carry on from where international football abruptly interrupted the East Midlands team.
The optimism generated from victory in Wales against Swansea City must be continued at King Power Stadium this weekend. The Catalan now lives, breathes and sleeps LCFC, according to information in this article. He even resides at City's Seagrave training centre at the moment. Some observers may say this is weird or peculiar; I see the situation as a real bonus for the organisation regarding commitment!
But how may the team line up for the visit of the South Coast side? Let's have a look.

Leicester are live on Sky Sports+ Linear on Saturday evening.
kick-off
The contest begins at 7:45pm; the venue is the King Power.
Injuries
In the absence of any fresh injury news emerging from Filbert Way, we have to go by what we know. The squad was pretty healthy prior to the Swans outing. Though Stephy Mavididi is a doubt.
The National Team representatives appear to be unscathed too. The three main contentious elements are left wing, No.10 and the striker role. I'd continue with Jeremy Monga; Patson Daka and Bobby De Cordova-Reid seem favoured under Cifuentes.
Predicted XI
Stolarczyk; Thomas, Faes, Vestergaard, Pereira; Winks, James; Monga, De Cordova-Reid, Fatawu; Daka.
