The duo of Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho are expected to play for the Foxes who last weekend shocked Chelsea 1-0.
At the Amex Stadium, Leon Balogun's Brighton and Hove play fifth placed Arsenal who could start Alex Iwobi following the metatarsal injury that Henrikh Mkhitaryan suffered in the Carabao Cup last week.
Iwobi scored his second EPL goal against Burnley while Balogun will hope to be handed a start too as Shane Duffy returns from suspension.
Watford parading Isaac Success will be home to Chelsea who are likely to be without out of favour Victor Moses.
In the Championship, newly wedded Oghenekaro Etebo's Stoke City travel to Birmingham City while Semi Ajayi's Rotherham will be guests of Bolton Wanderers.
