What's the injury news?

"We've been managing him over the last couple of weeks and he's come through really well," Brendan Rodgers said, on Jonny Evans' condition. "He was in a lot of pain [last Thursday] and woke up [on Friday] feeling better. In the warm-up, just as he was coming in before kick-off, he felt discomfort.

"Jonny's a real warrior so you know if he's not able to at least give it a go, then he's really suffering. We'll just have to see how he is and what his availability is going forward."

What happened last time?

The two sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in the league fixture held at King Power Stadium on Boxing Day 2020. The visitors twice went ahead via goals from Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes, though the Foxes fought back through Harvey Barnes' effort and a late own goal from Axel Tuanzebe.

The Foxes also secured a memorable Emirates FA Cup Quarter-Final triumph over the Red Devils in March. A brace from Kelechi Iheanacho and Youri Tielemans' strike sent City into the last four of the competition.

When can I catch match highlights?

A two-minute highlights package will be available for supporters to access on LCFC TV approximately two hours after full-time, which is available for free to Digital Members on the Club's official website (free sign-up).

A full highlights video will be published on LCFC.com at midnight following the fixture and Leicester City's official social media channels will post short clips from the day's action.

Please note that in the interests of safety, Leicester City’s fixtures will continue to be played behind closed doors. To ensure matches can still go ahead and to help control the spread of COVID-19, the Football Club kindly asks its supporters to continue to follow their team from home and not to gather at any stadia.

All times BST unless stated otherwise.
