Leeds defender Diego Llorente could be out for up to a month after injuring his hamstring during the midweek win over Newcastle.

Robin Koch, Gaetano Berardi and Adam Forshaw remain sidelined.

Leicester's Wilfred Ndidi misses out with a hamstring injury incurred against Everton in midweek but Jonny Evans, who went off in that game with an eye problem, should be fit.

Top scorer Jamie Vardy continues to recuperate after hernia surgery.

Leicester completely dismantled Leeds when they met at Elland Road in November but the difference this time is that Foxes striker Jamie Vardy is out injured.

Vardy was instrumental in the Foxes' first two goals that day, and scored their third one himself. Without him, it should be a lot closer.

Leeds got a badly needed win over Newcastle in midweek to get back on track after three straight defeats, and they are a dangerous side when their tails are up.
