Dean Smith has an important decision to make for Leicester City's trip to Elland Road with a number of key players back in contention to face Leeds United. James Maddison has recovered from a sickness bug and is expected to start for the Foxes, while the Foxes' boss must decide if Harvey Barnes is ready to start.
Smith made a bold selection choice for his home debut as manager, starting Jamie Vardy, Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka in a front four in their win over Wolves. The 2-1 victory lifted them out of the bottom three and moved to within a point of the Whites.
However, with Maddison and Barnes back in contention for the Elland Road showdown that could impact his thinking. The new Leicetser City boss will be without Jonny Evans who has missed the past two games with a viral infection.

Ricardo Pereira is also sidelined with hamstring injury, while James Justin is unregistered, meaning he can’t play even after returning to training following a five-month Achilles injury.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Smith told Leicestershire Live: "Harvey Barnes joined in training yesterday so he’s made himself available for selection. He’ll train again today and if there are no after effects, he’ll definitely be available.
"Jonny is feeling better but he’s not trained with us yet so tomorrow will come too quickly for him, but it’s good that he’s back and feeling better. Madders came in yesterday and did a gym session. He will train today, so I’d expect him to be available as well."
Predicted Leicester City line-up (4-2-3-1): Iversen; Castagne, Faes, Soyuncu, Kristiansen; Soumare, Tielemans; Tete, Iheanacho, Maddison; Vardy.
