Kasper Schmeichel - Concedes one in loss Schmeichel conceded one goal and made seven saves during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City.
Impact Schmeichel didn't get the win but is starting to find his groove with 10 saves and just two goals conceded over his last two matches. With a tie for the most saves made in the league, Schmeichel offers solid production against any opponent, and he'll next face a Brighton club that has put just nine shots on target in four games.

Ademola Lookman - Takes two shots in loss Lookman took two shots (one on goal) in 17 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City.
Impact Lookman added another dangerous counterattacking option for the Foxes but like his teammates, he was foiled by some excellent goalkeeping from Ederson. If he continues to play as well as he did in his debut, look for Lookman to find his way into the lineup. Up next is a trip to Brighton, which have conceded three goals in four games.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jannik Vestergaard - Makes three blocks in loss Vestergaard made three blocks in 61 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City.
Impact Vestergaard got the start in this game after overcoming a knee issue but ran out of gas against a tough opponent. He'll hope to be in better shape by Sunday's trip to Brighton, which are tied for the second-fewest shots on goal in the Premier League.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
James Maddison - Creates one chance in loss Maddison created one chance in 73 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City.
Impact Maddison hasn't had the brightest start to the season with four starts, three chances created and zero full 90s. He might increase his production in games where the Foxes can keep more possession, but Maddison needs to do more in any case. Up next will be a trip to Brighton, which have one of the better defensive records early in the season.
SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jamie Vardy - Shotless in loss Vardy failed to take a shot during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City.
Impact Vardy has scored goals in alternating matches to open the season and was unlucky to have a good effort called back after review in the second half. Heading into the next match against Brighton, he'll need to stay sharp against a club that has conceded just three shots on goal to forwards.

Ricardo Pereira - On bench Saturday Pereira (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Manchester City.
Impact Pereira returned to full training this week, though with plenty of options available to manager Brendan Rodgers, he'll only get a spot on the bench, with Timothy Castagne starting at right-back.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jonny Evans - Available Saturday Evans (foot) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Manchester City.
Impact Evans' availability is a nice boost to Leicester City's defense, though with Jannik Vestergaard now fit, he may find playing time hard to come by.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Bertrand - Starting against Man City Bertrand (illness) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Manchester City.
Impact Bertrand has fully recovered from COVID-19 and will slot in at left-back, a position he's likely to occupy plenty this season.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jannik Vestergaard - Starting Saturday Vestergaard (knee) in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Manchester City.
Impact Vestergaard makes his Leicester City debut in an extremely tough matchup, partnering Caglar Soyuncu in central defense. While the Foxes have a number of players capable of playing center-back, Vestergaard seems likely to get plenty of starts this season.

Jannik Vestergaard - May be option Saturday Vestergaard (knee) is "progressing very well" and could be available for Saturday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "That's what we have to ass...
Impact Vestergaard used the break to recover, but Rodgers still didn't seem confident in the defender's ability to start. Even then, it'll be tough to give the newcomer his first start in a huge spot against Manchester City, so it wouldn't be surprising if his team debut was delayed a week or two.

Jonny Evans - Could be available Saturday Evans (foot) is "progressing very well" and could be an option for Saturday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "That's what we have to assess go...
Impact It's going to be a process for Evans, so even though he's training, it's not guaranteed that he's completely fit or healthy. This is a foot issue that may bug him the entire season, as it has the past four months. Either way, it'd be a surprise if he was in the XI come Saturday in a huge spot.

Ricardo Pereira - Training, available Saturday Pereira (hamstring) returned to training this week and is expected to be available Saturday against Manchester City, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.
Impact Pereira picked up the injury in the match before the break and it kept him out less than two weeks. That being the case, there's a decent chance he isn't risked immediately given that it's a muscle injury. Plus, the return of Timothy Castagne allows for Pereira to be fully rested before making a return to the XI.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Bertrand - Expected to be option Saturday Bertrand (COVID-19) has trained fully over the break and is available Saturday against Manchester City, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.
Impact Bertrand was supposedly available for the match before the break, but he was held out an extra game. After two weeks of training, he should be an option to start again and the thought is that he'll take over for Luke Thomas at left-back.

Youri Tielemans - Goes 81 minutes for Belgium Tielemans (ankle) started and played 81 minutes in Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Czech Republic.
Impact Tielemans started a few days after a reported ankle injury, so it clearly wasn't a major issue. The midfielder is a rock for Leicester and as long as he gets back to the team healthy, he'll be in his usual role for Saturday's big game against Manchester City.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Youri Tielemans - Injures ankle with Belgium Tielemans injured his ankle training with the Belgium national team, reports Leicester Mercury.
Impact This doesn't seem like a major issue for Tielemans, but it kept him from competing in Belgium's qualifier. This will be something to monitor in the next week and if he can't return for one of the next qualifiers, his status could be in doubt for the Sept. 11 contest against Manchester City.
SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Daniel Amartey - Forced into starting role Amartey as started all three games for Leicester City in the new season.
Impact Amartey has been forced into a starting role in defense playing every minute of Leicester's opening three fixtures. The defender is a bit of a weak link of the backline but has faired ok replacing the injured Wesley Fofana.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Luke Thomas - Three starts to open year Thomas has started all three of Leicester City's matches to open the new year.
Impact Thomas has not only played all three matches, but has played every minute of those matches. The defender has the second highest amount of clearances, crosses, and tackles on the team while leading Leicester with nine interceptions through three games.
