Leicester team news

Leicester remain without several first-team defenders: Ricardo Pereira, Victor Kristiansen, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, and Harry Souttar are all ruled out due to injury. 

Leicester have won five of their last six at home, and aim to maintain attacking momentum despite defensive absences.

Birmingham team news

Birmingham have made a bright start under Chris Davies but disappointingly exited the Carabao Cup. Their away form is steady, with three wins in the last six on the road. Birmingham’s line-up continues to evolve after a busy summer transfer window; new signings Lewis Koumas, Kanya Fujimoto, and Marvin Ducksch have become regular contributors.

There are no fresh injuries reported, and midfield anchor Krystian Bielik is expected to return after being rested.
