Leicester City v Brighton & Hove Albion

Leicester forward Jamie Vardy will feature in Wednesday's FA Cup fifth-round tie at home to Brighton as he returns to fitness.

The Seagulls will be without injured quintet Adam Webster, Solly March, Tariq Lamptey, Davy Propper and Alireza Jahanbakhsh.

But Adam Lallana and Danny Welbeck could start for Graham Potter's side.

Vardy, 34, underwent hernia surgery in January but appeared as a substitute in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Wolves.

"You can see what he brings to the team," said Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers.

"We'll definitely get him some minutes on Wednesday, whether that's in the first period of the game, or the second, so he'll feature at some point.
