Leicester City team news, injuries, lineup
Ayoze Peres is suspended after his horror tackle led to a red card at West Ham. Ryan Bertrand is out after contracting COVID-19, while Jannik Vestergaard has a chance of featuring after suffering a knee injury in training. James Justin is working his way back to full fitness after his serious knee injury, while Wesley Fofana remains out after the leg fracture he suffered in preseason. Nampalys Mendy is out with a groin injury.All signs point towards a solid away win for Leicester City, but something here tells me that Norwich will grind out a point. The Foxes have a lot of injury issues and the Canaries’ new signings were really good in their big win v. Bournemouth in the League Cup in midweek. I’m going for a bit of an upset with a draw. Norwich City 2-2 Leicester City.Norwich City have had a very tough start to the season. They lost 3-0 away at Liverpool, followed by a 5-0 thrashing in front of their own fans at the hands of Manchester City. Of course, these results aren't a fair reflection of how Norwich will perform this season; any team would have struggled with such a tough set of fixtures, especially a newly promoted one.
Norwich will be viewing this match against Leicester City as the true start of their season. Plus, a 6-0 victory over Championship side Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup in midweek will have injected the side with much-need confidence. The best is yet to come for the Canaries in the EPL and they'll be eager to show what they can do this weekend.
Leicester City ended last season with a disastrous collapse of form that cost the club a place in the Champions League which had previously looked all but confirmed. The side's 4-1 defeat on Monday night at the hands of West Ham will have reminded fans that Leicester are capable of unexpectedly poor performances a little too often.
However, the Foxes will feel that a matchup against a newly promoted side will be just tonic necessary to put that previous result firmly in the past. Getting bodies on the pitch could be an issue, though. Ayoze Perez will begin his suspension after receiving a straight red card against West Ham and the club's defensive injury crisis continues, with Jannik Vestergaard, Jonny Evans and Wesley Fofana all unlikely to be able to play.
