'We decided to change it'
Newcastle v Leicester (20:00 BST)
Leicester City
Leicester boss Dean Smith speaking to Sky Sports on why James Maddison and Harvey Barnes are on the bench: "We decided to change it. We need to be harder to beat. The last couple of games, we have needed lots of goals to win them so we needed to make a change. We picked a team we feel can compete.
"I had to think long and hard about it. Watching the game against Brighton, the first two goals are from set-pieces and I wanted another centre-back in the team.
"They were professional about it. I want them to be disappointed if they're not playing but they see the bigger picture and understand why.
"With both Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy, we're not coming here just to not get beat but to win the game. We want to create chances as well and be competitive against a good team.
"The good thing is before the weekend started it wasn't in our hands but it is for now. We want to keep it that way."
