What's the injury news?

"We’ve got a clean bill of health from last night," Brendan Rodgers told the national media on Thursday.

"[James Maddison is] still continuing with the medical team. As I’ve always said with James, there’s no timeline on it, we’re just hoping that gradually he'll feel better. He’s had the reassurance of a few scans to know that he doesn’t need any operation.

"It’s just a little bit irritable where he’s had a previous operation, but we’re hopeful that, over these next weeks, he will get better and it’ll be great to have him in the squad again."

What happened last time?

Ayoze Pérez's breakaway goal and a penalty from Jamie Vardy booked a fifth successive Premier League victory for Leicester City in a 2-0 triumph over Brighton at AMEX Stadium on 23 November, 2019.

Vardy's spot-kick - taken for a second time - saw City's No.9 extend his scoring run to 21 goals in 23 top-flight appearances under the management of Brendan Rodgers as the Foxes sat second in the Premier League.

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 GMT unless stated otherwise.
