James Maddison - Scores in Boxing day loss Maddison scored on six shots (three on target) and hauled in three chances created, three crosses (none accurate), three dribbles, three corners, a yellow card and three fouls draw...

Impact Maddison was fantastic here despite a seemingly rough affair. He was relentless up front and wreaked havoc on the City's back line all game long. The playmaker is on a stellar run at the moment scoring in back to back affairs and mounting a total of five goals and four assists over his past seven matches alone.

Kelechi Iheanacho - Stars with goal, two assists Sunday Iheanacho scored on three shots (all on target) and tallied two assists on two chances created in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Iheanacho was absolutely brilliant here in his first start since early November. He was extremely efficient with his chances and was involved in all three goals for his side. Fitness struggles for Jamie Vardy could allow the former to get another start Tuesday after this performance but in a date with Liverpool it could tough to repeat the same coup again.

Kasper Schmeichel - Makes two saves in 6-3 defeat Schmeichel made two saves in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Schmeichel couldn't really make much impact here and would record a horrific statistical outing. The Foxes have been very leaky in the back and the keeper has kept merely two clean sheets all season in the league while allowing whopping 19 goals over the past eight affairs and a date with Liverpool doesn't sound like much fun at the moment.

Jamie Vardy - Goes unused versus City Vardy was an unused sub in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Vardy has now started just once in last four matches and has been dealing with a minor issue of late. Even if he's ready for full time action Tuesday he's only scored in one of his last nine appearances with that run dating all the way back to mid-October. His other numbers have been very sporadic in that period too.

Jonny Evans - Sidelined three weeks Evans (hamstring) will be out for three weeks with a hamstring injury, according to Jamie Thorpe of talkSPORT.

Impact Evans will be sidelined for around three weeks as he recovers from a hamstring injury. The defender is a big miss for the already heavily injured Leicester defensive unit. Wilfred Ndidi may be pushed backed into a center-back role with so many defenders out.

Caglar Soyuncu - Out up to three weeks Soyuncu will be out around three weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in the midweek Cup match, reports Rob Tanner of The Athletic.

Impact It's a tough injury for Leicester, who are struggling to put together a back line and that resulted in six goals allowed to Man City on Boxing Day. Soyuncu's absence means more time for Jannik Vestergaard, who has struggled to perform in limited appearances with Leicester this season.

Ryan Bertrand - Suffers injury in warmups Bertrand twisted his knee during the pregame before Sunday's defeat against Manchester City, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed to BBC Sport.

Impact Bertrand hasn't featured in a Premier League game since Oct. 3, and he missed Sunday's game with a knee injury. He is a doubt for Tuesday's clash against Liverpool as well.

Patson Daka - Missing with hamstring injury Daka will be out around three weeks with a hamstring injury suffered against Liverpool last week, reports Rob Tanner of The Athletic.

Impact Daka was getting more time and playing well, but a hamstring injury prevents him from growing that role. Fortunately, he should be back by the end of January and at that point, his hope is that he didn't lose his backup role to Kelechi Iheanacho, who bagged a brace in the Boxing Day loss to Manchester City.

Ricardo Pereira - Out with fractured fibula Pereira will miss six-to-eight weeks after fracturing his fibula in the recent league Cup loss, reports Rob Tanner of The Athletic.

Impact It's yet another severe injury for Pereira with the lone positive being that this isn't a torn ACL. Pereira has struggled to stay healthy the last couple years and now it's a wonder if he'll get to full fitness by the end of the season given more time away from the pitch.

Hamza Choudhury - Back with team Boxing Day Choudhury (COVID-19) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Choudhury doesn't have much of a role in the squad, but now that he's healthy, he could see some minutes off the bench in the busy period. He's played in just one league match this season in which he started and went just 60 minutes, likely due to poor play.

DECEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Timothy Castagne - Makes bench against Man Cty Castagne (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Castagne is healthy enough to be in the squad Sunday, but given the heavy schedule, there was no reason to risk him. In his place, Marc Albrighton is starting at right-back, a position he's played before, including in the midweek Cup match against Liverpool.

DECEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Kelechi Iheanacho - Starting against Man City Iheanacho (COVID-19) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Iheanacho is back in the squad Sunday the first time since Dec. 5 after he started positive for COVID-19. It's a tough spot made even tougher by the fact that he hasn't played more than 45 minutes since Nov. 4 in a Europa League match. Depending how this match goes, Iheanacho could go a full 90 or be one of the first players subbed off.
