Kasper Schmeichel - Keeps clean sheet against Norwich Schmeichel made five saves and kept a clean sheet in Wednesday's 3-0 victory against Norwich City.

Impact Schmeichel kept his seventh clean sheet of the season on Wednesday, and it was just his second in his last 10 in the Premier League since early March. He will want to make it two in-a-row Sunday against Watford, which have scored just 32 goals in 36 matches this campaign.

Harvey Barnes - Records brace of assists in win Barnes took two shots and assisted two goals in Wednesday's 3-0 victory against Norwich City. He also won two of two tackles in the match.

Impact Barnes started just his second Premier League game in Leicester's last six since April 2, but he was excellent against Norwich as he set up a pair of goals from Jamie Vardy. He will hope to have a similar impact Sunday against Watford, which have conceded 70 times in 36 matches this season.

James Maddison - Scores goal against Norwich Maddison scored a goal and created two chances in Wednesday's 3-0 victory against Norwich City. He also won two of five tackles, and he took four shots (three on target) overall in...

Impact Maddison was lively Wednesday in his return to the pitch after missing two games with a hamstring injury, and he added some luster to the result with his ninth goal of the season, which is a new personal best for the midfielder. He should be ready for Sunday's clash against Watford, which have conceded 70 times in 36 Premier League matches.

Impact Vardy made his first Premier League start since suffering a knee injury in early March, and he netted two second-half goals to take his season tally up to 12 despite injuries having seriously limited his playing time in 2022. He could be back in the lineup Sunday against Watford, which have conceded 70 times in 36 matches this campaign.

James Michael Justin - Starting against Norwich Justin (shoulder) will feature in the starting XI versus Norwich on Wednesday.

Impact Justin was an unused substitute in two of his last three appearances in the match-day squad. Still, when he has gotten onto the pitch, the right-back has offered solid mid-range fantasy value, having recorded five shots (one on target), 10 crosses (two accurate) and four chances created in his last five outings.

James Maddison - Starting Wednesday Maddison (hamstring) will be in the starting XI to face Norwich City on Wednesday.

Impact Maddison returns following a two-match stint on the shelf due to his hamstring issue. With the attacking midfielder back on the pitch, he should serve as the primary option for corners, making him an elite fantasy option given his ability to rack up crosses and push the attack.

James Michael Justin - Will be option Wednesday Justin (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's match against Norwich City, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact There was a general thought that Justin may not play again this season because of a dislocated shoulder, but it looks like that's not the case. If available Wednesday, that means he should be ready to start and while he has a bad shoulder, that may not matter against Norwich.

James Maddison - Available against Norwich Maddison (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's match against Norwich City, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact There's a decent chance Maddison moves back into the starting XI Wednesday after missing the match over the weekend. He's been rested every other match during Leicester's UECL run and he could be set for a full 90 despite missing the last match. He last appeared in league play against Villa on April 23 when he had 13 crosses.

Kasper Schmeichel - Allows two in defeat Schmeichel gave up two goals while making two saves in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Everton.

Impact Schmeichel has managed just one clean sheet in his last nine contests while making 32 saves and conceding 13 goals. After reaching the 10-shutout threshold in each of his previous three domestic seasons, Schmeichel is in danger of posting his lowest clean sheet total since the club was promoted back in 2014-15.

Nampalys Mendy - Picks up yellow card Mendy was booked in the 46th minute against Everton on Sunday. Before being subbed off in the 66th minute, Mendy recorded one shot (on target) and one clearance.

Impact Between international duty and a groin injury, Mendy has appeared in just 10 contests (nine starts) for the club this season in which he registered one shot (on target), one chance created and eight interceptions. Given his production comes primarily in the form of defensive stats, Mendy is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value even with his place in the starting XI secure.

Jamie Vardy - Comes off bench again Vardy made his third straight substitute appearance in Sunday's clash with Everton, replacing Nampalys Mendy in the 66th minute.

Impact Over the last three EPL contests, Vardy has logged a combined 66 minutes in which he recorded two shots (zero on target), one cross (inaccurate) and one chance created. With his knee injury seemingly behind him, Vardy could be in contention to reclaim a spot in the starting XI versus Norwich City on Wednesday.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Takes four corners Dewsbury-Hall took four of the Foxes' six corners against Everton on Sunday. In addition, the midfielder recorded nine crosses (zero accurate), two tackles (one won) and two chance...

Impact Dewsbury-Hall was tied with Timothy Castagne for the team lead in crosses Sunday but failed to register any accurate crosses. In his last five outings, Dewsbury-Hall has played a bigger role on set pieces, including 21 crosses (two accurate) and eight corners.

Timothy Castagne - Records nine crosses Castagne registered nine crosses (two accurate), one shot (on target) and three tackles (two won) against Everton on Sunday.

Impact Castagne was playing further up the pitch in a midfield role which likely factored into the number of crosses he generated. While the defender does generate some crosses when on the back line, he offers significantly more value from the midfield.

MAY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Patson Daka - Scores goal in loss Daka scored a goal on three shots (two on target) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Everton.

Impact Daka has started five of the club's last six contests in which he registered one goal on six shots (four on target), six tackles (four won) and five chances created. Given his recent run of form, Daka should maintain his place in the starting XI versus Norwich City on Wednesday, though Jamie Vardy appears to be trending toward a potential start as well.

James Michael Justin - Dealing with dislocated shoulder Justin wasn't in the squad for Sunday's match against Everton because of a dislocated shoulder, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Justin is a doubt to feature again this season after dislocating his shoulder in the second leg against Roma. Daniel Amartey started in Sunday's match and a return to the XI for Luke Thomas is possible Wednesday against Norwich with Timothy Castagne likely starting on the right side.

MAY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ricardo Pereira - Unlikely rest of season Pereira (hamstring) hasn't been in the squad the last two matches and is unlikely to feature again this season, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Pereira was getting consistent starts to open the season, but another injury derailed that and he hasn't been completely healthy since. He's still struggling to find the form found in the 2019/20 campaign and will hope to get back his full fitness this summer.

James Maddison - Not in squad Sunday Maddison is not in the match day squad to face Everton on Sunday due to his nagging hip issue.

Impact Maddison misses out with his hip issue and will hope to return for midweek action against Norwich. He's been moving in and out of the squad the last week and wasn't expected to start Saturday with Ayoze Perez again in the XI against Everton. Assuming the issue isn't worse, Maddison should be in the XI against Norwich next match.
