Team News: Leicester City make five changes

Leicester make five changes

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson makes five changes to his starting XI as the Foxes look to maintain their lead at the top of the Championship with a win at Millwall.

Marcin Wasilewski, Ignasi Miquel, Gary Taylor-Fletcher, Dean Hammond and Andy King all play for the visitors but Jamie Vardy misses out after picking up a fifth yellow card of the season against Bolton last time out.

Millwall name an unchanged team from the side that drew with Doncaster on Sunday, which means Danny Shittu, who returns from a ban, is named among the substitutes.

In the return fixture at the King Power Stadium earlier this season, a brace from Jamie Vardy helped Leicester to a 3-0 win.

Millwall: Forde; Dunne, Beevers, Lowry, Malone; Chaplow, Bailey, Abdou, Woolford; McDonald, Morison

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Wasilewski, Morgan, Moore, Miquel; Knockaert, Hammond, King, Dyer; Taylor-Fletcher, Nugent
