    Having rung the changes for Saturday’s 3-0 FA Cup win over Birmingham, Leicester boss Enzo Maresca reverts to a team showing three alterations from the 1-1 Championship draw with Ipswich earlier this month.

    Callum Doyle, Dennis Praet and Patson Daka come in for James Justin, Hamza Choudhury and Tom Cannon.

    Zambia’s Daka makes his first Foxes appearance since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.

    Leicester: Hermansen; Doyle, Vestergaard, Faes, Pereira; Winks, Praet; McAteer, Dewsbury-Hall, Mavididi; Daka.

    Subs: Stolarczyk, Coady, Nelson, Raikhy, Choudhury, Albrighton, Yunus, Cannon, Vardy.

  2. Coventry seek to cement play-off position

    The new year has been really kind to Coventry, who stretched their unbeaten run in all competitions to 11 games with their FA Cup fourth-round draw against Sheffield Wednesday last weekend.

    In the Championship, the Sky Blues have won six of their last nine games, with three draws, and could move away from Sunderland in seventh in the table if they win tonight (they are tied on points with the Black Cats as it stands).

    By contrast, Liam Manning's Bristol City haven't had the best start to 2024 when it comes to the league.

    They are winless in their last four games - two draws, two losses - and have the lowest scoring tally of the year so far in the Championship with one goal.

    To make matters potentially worse, Coventry have lost only one of their last six league meetings at home with the Robins - in October 2014.

  3. Championship leaders Leicester look to go 10 points clear

    By their own sky-high standards this season, Championship leaders Leicester City have endured something of a blip lately.

    A draw and a defeat in their past two league games - combined with FA Cup commitments - mean they haven't won in the Championship since New Year's Day.

    But beat 16th-place Swansea City at home tonight and the Foxes will be 10 points clear at the top of the table.

    As for the Swans, they're still getting to grips with life under new head coach Luke Williams, who has yet to taste victory in his two Championship games since joining from Notts County.

    They were thrashed 5-0 by Bournemouth in the FA Cup last Thursday, while Leicester progressed to the fifth round with a 3-0 win over Birmingham City.
