Jamie Vardy - Quiet as impact substitute Vardy has come off the bench in seven consecutive Premier League games heading into the March international break, taking one shot and creating three chances across 139 total minut...

Impact Age seems to finally be catching up to the 36-year-old Vardy as he's started just three Premier League matches in 2023 and hasn't scored in the competition since October. Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho have surpassed him as the preferred options up front for Leicester.

Harry Souttar - Injures ankle with Australia Souttar suffered an ankle knock with Australia over the international break and has returned to Leicester, according to Australia manager Graham Arnold. "[It was] in his ankle. So...

Impact Souttar picked up the issue in the March 24 match and it was decided to be best for him to go back to Leicester to get some treatment. For now, he's expected to be fine for Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace, but if he can't start, Daniel Amartey would be set for another call. Souttar has started and gone a full 90 in every match since joining Leicester in the transfer window.

Patson Daka - Takes three shots in draw Daka recorded three shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brentford.

Impact Daka started for the second game in a row after scoring against Chelsea, but he couldn't repeat the outcome here. The promising striker has four goals and three assists on the season.

Harvey Barnes - Scores against Bees Barnes scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Brentford.

Impact Barnes showed his excellent chemistry with James Maddison in Leicester's lone goal. He took advantage of a superb through ball to slot the ball past David Raya in the early stages of the second half, allowing Leicester to come away with a point. The speedy winger has nine goals so far this season.

James Maddison - Delivers assist Saturday Maddison assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brentford. In addition, he was given a yell...

Impact Maddison showed his quality and vision in one of the few instances in which he could get free from his marking, as he delivered a perfect assist to Harvey Barnes, who coolly finished in front of David Raya. Maddison has racked up six assists, while adding nine goals, across 20 appearances (19 starts) this season.

Daniel Iversen - Concedes once in draw Iversen registered one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brentford.

Impact Iversen couldn't do much on the goal he conceded, as it came off a rebound from inside the box following a corner kick. This was Iversen's first start of the campaign, and it remains to be seen if he'll keep that role when Leicester take on Crystal Palace on April 1 following the international break.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wilfred Ndidi - Defends well in draw Ndidi made four clearances, three interceptions and won two of two tackles in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brentford.

Impact Ndidi made just his second Premier League start since mid-January on Saturday, as he's suffered through a few injuries this season and hasn't been an automatic starter even when healthy. But he played well from defensive midfield to help earn a result against Brentford on Saturday.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wout Faes - Returning from suspension Faes will be eligible to feature in the April 1 clash against Crystal Palace after serving a red card suspension.

Impact Faes missed out on Saturday's draw with Brentford after getting sent off against Chelsea in the previous weekend, but he will be able to return to the XI in central defense to take on Palace after the international break.

Danny Ward - Benched on Saturday Ward is serving as the backup keeper for Saturday's match against Brentford.

Jonny Evans - Facing fitness test Evans (undisclosed) will be reassessed ahead of Saturday's clash versus Brentford, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "We'll have to see, there's a doubt around him. Hopefully [...

Impact Evans is at risk of missing Saturday's match after picking up an undisclosed injury. He has missed the previous 16 games with a calf injury, though it is unclear if he has reinjured it. Once back, he will have to compete with Harry Soutter and Daniel Amartey for a starting spot at center back, however may see an advance with the title of club captain this season.

Victor Kristiansen - Likely out Saturday Kristiansen (ankle) will undergo a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's trip to Brentford. "Victor maybe won't make it. We're hoping he might be close but he might miss this one"...

Impact Kristiansen has made four starts since joining the club from FC Copenhagen, generating 19 tackles (13 won) and 10 clearances in that span. There is a big chance he will not be fit for Saturday, leaving him out of the team until after the international break. Ricardo Pereira will continue to start in the back in his absence.

Ricardo Pereira - Assists in home loss Pereira assisted one goal from three chances created, took one off-target shot, sent in five crosses (one accurate), made one tackle (won), two interceptions and one clearance and...

Impact Pereira assisted Patson Daka in the 39th minute for the equalizer, but they couldn't avoid the home loss. That was his first assist in the season so far. The right-back logged his second start in a row in his fourth overall appearance since recovering from a long Achilles injury.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Patson Daka - Scores against Chelsea Daka scored one goal from his only shot and created one chance in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Daka scored the 1-1 equalizer in the 39th minute, but it wasn't enough to avoid the home loss, as they conceded twice later. The forward now has four goals in the season, and that was his first since early October. He had a pretty quiet outing other than that, though, before subbing off in the 66th minute.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Danny Ward - Makes three saves in loss Ward made three saves and one clearance in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Ward could not do much to avoid the home loss, conceding twice in the first half and once more in the second. The goalkeeper still has only six clean sheets in the season, the last one in mid-November. He will now look to bounce back at Brentford on Saturday.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Harvey Barnes - Creates chance in loss Barnes subbed into Saturday's match against Chelsea in the 66th minute, creating a chance in the 3-1 loss.

Impact Barnes recovered from a minor ankle injury and was able to play just under half an hour off the bench against Chelsea. Patson Daka replaced him in the XI on Saturday, but Barnes should return to start on the left wing if he's fit enough by next weekend's clash with Brentford.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wout Faes - Sent off against Chelsea Faes picked up two yellow cards late in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Chelsea. He'll be suspended for the upcoming trip to Brentford.

Impact Faes had one of his down days in Saturday's loss and that led to a late red card for two yellows. He's been a regular for the Foxes since joining the club and that's expected to continue with Harry Souttar alongside him. Jonny Evans, who is recently back from injury, could move back into the XI for the trip to Brentford.
