Nigel Pearson has given a Leicester City debut to son James Pearson for their Capital One Cup second-round tie with Shrewsbury Town at the King Power Stadium.

The 21-year-old comes in at right-back in one of eight changes made from the side that lost 2-0 to Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Paul Konchesky, Riyad Mahrez and Liam Moore are the only players who retain their places, while Gary Taylor-Fletcher, Chris Wood and Anthony Knockaert are presented with an opportunity to impress.

League Two Shrewsbury visit the East Midlands having yet to lose a game this season, but are without former Republic of Ireland international midfielder Liam Lawrence through suspension.

Jermaine Grandison and James Collins are recalled by Salop, with Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro and Ashley Vincent dropped.
