Leicestervs.Fulham

Goalkeeper Mads Hermansen (groin) remains on the sidelines with fellow injured Foxes Wilfred Ndidi (hamstring), Abdul Fatawu (knee) and Ricardo Pereira (muscle).

Odsonne Edouard was ineligible to play against his parent club Crystal Palace in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to the Eagles, but the forward is available to return to Ruud van Nistelrooy's squad this weekend.

Leicester confirmed the signing of Woyo Coulibaly from Parma on Wednesday, and although the right-back is yet to train with his new teammates, he could be available for selection against Fulham, provided that the necessary paperwork on his transfer has been completed.

Wout Faes was handed his first league start in midweek since the arrival of Van Nistelrooy and will be hoping to retain his place in central defence alongside Jannik Vestergaard, while James Justin and Victor Kristiansen continue as full-backs.

Oliver Skipp will continue to battle with Harry Winks and Boubakary Soumare for a start in centre-midfield, while Van Nistelrooy may weigh up making a few changes in attack as Leicester have failed to score in four of their last six league games.

Jamie Vardy may keep his spot up front, but Jordan Ayew, Patson Daka, Kasey McAteer, Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Edouard will all be vying to replace one of Facundo Buonanotte, Bilal El Khannouss or Stephy Mavididi.

Leicester City possible starting lineup: Stolarczyk; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Winks, Soumare; Ayew, Buonanotte, McAteer; Vardy
