Fit-again Ndidi starts for Leicester City against Birmingham City

Wilfred Ndidi has been passed fit to start Leicester City's clash with Birmingham City in Wednesday’s FA Cup fixture.

The midfielder who missed three out of the Foxes’ four games was a second-half replacement for Hamza Choudhury in Friday’s 1-0 defeat to Norwich City.

Also in the starting XI for Brendan Rodgers’ team is compatriot Kelechi Iheanacho who is expected to spearhead Leicester’s attack in the absence of Jamie Vardy.

Victory over the Championship side – who remain unbeaten in their last eight games across all competitions, will see them join Chelsea and Arsenal in the competition’s last eight.
