Aston Villa full-back Matty Cash has a hamstring strain which will keep him out for at least three weeks.
Timothy Castagne is fit for Leicester after a five-match absence with a hamstring problem but Ayoze Perez is a major doubt because of a knee injury.
Wes Morgan remains out, along with long-term absentees James Justin, Dennis Praet and Wesley Fofana.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Aston Villa were battered by Brighton last time out but they held on for a draw. That shows you what has changed about Dean Smith's side, because last season they would have lost that game 3-0.
