Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge will be sidelined for approximately three months because of a torn tendon in his foot.

John Lundstram begins a three-match suspension as a result of his red card at Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend. Oli McBurnie is a major injury doubt, while fellow forward Lys Mousset is not fit enough to start.

Everton will assess Richarlison, who was forced off with a head injury against Manchester United on Wednesday.

James Rodriguez, Allan and Lucas Digne remain out, but captain Seamus Coleman could make his first league start since 7 November after returning from a hamstring injury as a substitute last week.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola made seven changes for the win at Arsenal and is set to recall key players such as Raheem Sterling and Ederson.

Defender Eric Garcia is again expected to miss out through injury. Yesterday, it was announced that striker Gabriel Jesus and defender Kyle Walker have tested positive for Covid-19 and both will not play.

Newcastle remain without winger Allan Saint-Maximin and captain Jamaal Lascelles as both continue to suffer the after-effects of Covid-19. The Magpies will monitor Federico Fernandez, who missed the midweek defeat at Brentford through fatigue.

Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be monitored after missing successive matches with a calf strain. Gabriel Martinelli's shin problem will also be assessed, while Granit Xhaka returns after a three-match ban.

Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech is yet to recover from a hamstring problem and will not feature against Arsenal. Full-backs Ben Chilwell and Reece James are doubtful with respective ankle and knee injuries.

Fulham head coach Scott Parker is self-isolating so his assistants Stuart Gray and Matt Wells will take charge.

On-loan midfielder Mario Lemina is also absent as he is ineligible against his parent club, while Terence Kongolo and Kenny Tete are doubts. Defender Joachim Andersen is available after Fulham successfully appealed against last week's sending off.

Southampton will monitor injury doubts Danny Ings, Stuart Armstrong, Nathan Redmond and Jannik Vestergaard. Midfielder Oriol Romeu is suspended so summer signing Ibrahima Diallo could make his first Premier League start.

Aston Villa's on-loan midfielder Ross Barkley is fit after a five-week lay-off with a hamstring injury. Ezri Konsa should be available after missing the past two games because of illness, but Trezeguet remains out with a hamstring injury.

Crystal Palace have ex-Villa forward Christian Benteke back after a one-match ban. Another former Villan, Gary Cahill, sustained a hamstring injury against Liverpool and is ruled out.

So that's the team news from Leicester, let's have a quick look at the team news for today's other five Premier League matches.

Leicester are unchanged, while Manchester United make just the one change from the side that started the 6-2 win over Leeds in their last Premier League match as Eric Bailly comes in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Whatever happens today it won't see more goals than this day back in 1963.

Ten top-flight games saw just the 66 goals, with 10 for Fulham, eight for Blackburn, six for both Burnley and Liverpool, five for Chelsea and four for both West Brom and Tottenham.
