Jonny Evans

Jonny Evans' heel condition will be monitored by the Club's medical staff ahead of the game.

"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."

Kelechi Iheanacho

Leicester's No.14 celebrates his sixth goal in four games in all competitions in a 3-1 win over Man Utd earlier this year.

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.
