Divine Mukasa has dropped to the bench in the sole change to the Leicester City line-up at Ipswich.
Mukasa, a big hit since joining on loan from Manchester City, is only among the substitutes at Portman Road, with Stephy Mavididi coming in to replace him. That will see Bobby De Cordova-Reid move into a central position.
Jordan James and Jamaal Lascelles made their returns from injury as substitutes last weekend and both remain on the City bench at Ipswich.
Hamza Choudhury is also back among the substitutes after a spell out with injury, while Dujuan Richards is back on the bench after missing out last weekend. Both Louis Page and Jeremy Monga are absent.

There’s also a maiden appearance in the matchday squad for young goalkeeper Harry French.
The 20-year-old is City’s fifth-choice goalkeeper and comes in with Asmir Begovic and Stevie Bausor injured, and with Fran Vieites not selected. The Spaniard was on the bench last weekend.
With only one change to the starting line-up, it means it’s the same back four in front of Jakub Stolarczyk, with Ricardo Pereira and Luke Thomas either side of Caleb Okoli and Ben Nelson.
