Team News: Islam Slimani in for Jamie Vardy

Slimani in for Vardy

Islam Slimani replaces Jamie Vardy as Leicester City welcome West Bromwich Albion to the King Power this afternoon.

Manager Claudio Ranieri is also forced into a change between the sticks as Ron-Robert Zieler comes in for Kasper Schmeichel, who fractured a bone in his hand during the 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur last time out.

Tony Pulis, meanwhile, makes three changes to a Baggies side that were humiliated by Manchester City last time out.

Jonas Olsson misses out with a hamstring strain, while James McClean is suspended and Nacer Chadli is absent from the matchday squad following a knee operation.

Claudio Yacob, James Morrison and Matt Phillips all earn recalls.

Leicester City: Zieler; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez, King, Drinkwater; Musa, Okazaki, Slimani Subs: Hamer, Vardy, Albrighton, Amartey, Schlupp, Gray, Ulloa

West Bromwich Albion: Foster; Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Nyom; Yacob, Fletcher; Brunt, Morrison, Phillips; Rondon Subs: Myhill; Robson-Kanu, Gardner, Galloway, Leko, Field, Wilson
