Islam Slimani returns to the Leicester City squad following a groin problem but starts on the bench against Middlesbrough this afternoon.

The hosting Foxes show a single forced alteration from the lineup that beat Club Brugge in the Champions League this week, as Daniel Amartey comes in for Danny Drinkwater. The midfielder today begins a three-game suspension having accepted a charge of violent conduct for elbowing Watford's Valon Behrami.

Ron-Robert Zieler once more starts between the sticks as Kasper Schmeichel remains out with a fractured hand.

The visitors, meanwhile, remain unchanged from their defeat to Chelsea last time out.

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

Middlesbrough: Valdes, Barragan, Chambers, Gibson, Fabio, Clayton, De Roon, Forshaw, Traore, Ramirez, Negredo
Subs: Guzan, Nsue, Bernardo, Leadbitter, Downing, Fischer, Stuani
