Leicester City is set to face Sheffield Wednesday this afternoon as they aim to improve their chances of staying in the Championship.
The team is currently in the bottom three and is trying to avoid being relegated for a second consecutive season. However, they are just one point away from safety and see this match against already-relegated Sheffield Wednesday as a crucial opportunity to earn points.
Sheffield Wednesday, having won only once this season, is currently on minus six points due to several point deductions related to financial and ownership issues.
The situation is tight for Leicester as they fight to avoid joining Sheffield Wednesday. Only a point separates Oxford, Leicester, and Portsmouth, who occupy the 23rd to 21st positions.
Leicester City team news
Jordan James is uncertain for the match after sustaining an injury while playing for Wales during the international break. As Leicester’s top scorer, his absence would be significant; he missed the 2-2 draw with Preston last Friday and will be evaluated before the game.
If James cannot play, Abdul Fatawu is expected to step up, as he has been a bright spot in a challenging season with nine goals and seven assists in the Championship.
Patson Daka, who scored both goals in the match against Preston, is likely to be the main striker again. The team will also be missing Victor Kristiansen, Harry Souttar, and Aaron Ramsey, all of whom are long-term injuries.
Leicester City predicted lineup
Leicester predicted XI: Stolarczyk; Pereira, Okoli, Nelson, Thomas; Winks, Skipp; Fatawu, Mukasa, Mavididi; Daka.
When will the match kick off?
The match is scheduled to begin at 3pm BST on Monday, 6th April.
