What's the injury news?

"There’s nothing new to what we had at the weekend, it’ll be similar guys available," Brendan Rodgers confirmed on Tuesday. "There’s nobody else coming in who will be fit.

"Ricky (Ricardo Pereira) is coming back from a long-term injury. I'm obviously careful with him.

What happened last time?

Timothy Castagne netted a fine header on his Leicester debut and Jamie Vardy converted a duo of penalties in a 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns back on 13 September, 2020.

The last clash between the two sides at King Power Stadium, meanwhile, came in October 2017 as Riyad Mahrez's 80th-minute strike equalised Nacer Chadli's earlier effort for the Baggies.
