Leicester entertain northern English outfit Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday evening. The visiting Owls are in more of a mess than LCFC at present, which is a relief to be perfectly honest with you! Albeit we don’t want to see any well-known and well-supported clubs from England suffering to that degree. Nevertheless, the clear disorder at Hillsborough Stadium is a positive omen for the Foxes, as I say. Before the match, however, we must do our preparation and due diligence. We have compiled the King Power dossier for the Blue Army to peruse. Our brief yet comprehensive match preview contains injury news, expectations and predictions for the Filbert Way clash. Not to mention a forecasted Foxes XI.

Leicester City play Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship this weekend

The basic consensus is that City must beat Wednesday on Sunday. Observers and supporters arrive at this notion for several reasons. First of all, SWFC’s disarray; if you can’t beat a side with only a reported 15 senior squad members – you might as well give up!

Additionally, the stress and uncertainty the Sheffield stars are having to put up with is not the best preparation for a competitive contest. On paper, Leicester’s roster of available footballers is superior to that of their opponents as well.

Foxes injuries and predicted lineup

Right, Cifuentes gave his initial (or only important) LCFC press conference recently. The Catalan confirmed James Justin‘s timely return to action. However, defensive colleagues Victor Kristiansen and Ricardo Pereira are probably unavailable.

“Justin, Ricardo and Kristiansen have been absent for recent training sessions and friendlies, but while the latter two may need more time, Justin will at least be in contention for Sunday.”

Foxes of Leicester will also go ahead and assume goalkeeper Mads Hermansen won’t feature either. His prospective transfer to West Ham United is said to be back on the cards. So here is my starting XI prediction:

Stolarczyk; Thomas, Okoli, Vestergaard, Justin; Winks, Skipp; Mavididi, El Khannouss, Abdul Fatawu; Ayew.
