James Justin starts: The predicted Leicester City XI to face Millwall on Tuesday

Leicester City will be hoping to build on their victory against Birmingham City with another win tomorrow when they face Millwall.

The weekend was very positive for the Foxes, who saw their automatic promotion rivals Ipswich Town and Leeds United both lose. That was a boost for Enzo Maresca's side who have endured a fairly tough time in recent weeks.

The table is still very tight at this point though - and Leicester could easily still finish outside of the top two if they aren't careful.

But a win at The Den tomorrow would be a further boost for them before they head to Plymouth Argyle on Friday.

The Lions, meanwhile, made a good start under Neil Harris but have struggled recently and are still in the mix for relegation at this point.

The Foxes come into this game as strong favourites and ahead of this clash in the English capital, we have predicted the visitors' starting lineup.

GK: Mads Hermansen

Mads Hermansen made a big mistake at the weekend for Birmingham's goal, but as long as he continues to play Maresca's style and doesn't go direct, you would back him to keep his starting spot under the Italian.

LB: James Justin

Callum Doyle was withdrawn at halftime on Saturday and you have to wonder whether he will be dropped for this game.

James Justin did a respectable job against Blues and can offer plenty going forward too, so he may come into the first 11.

CB: Wout Faes

Wout Faes has received his fair share of criticism, but he did well in his last game and will probably start again, with the Belgium international playing a key role under Maresca this term.

CB: Jannik Vestergaard

Jannik Vestergaard has also played a key part under Maresca this season and if a major goalkeeping error hadn't happened, they would have had a clean sheet on Saturday.

The Dane will surely start again in midweek.

RB: Ricardo Pereira

Ricardo Pereira is a brilliant asset to have at this level and could be a starter on the right-hand side again.

Hamza Choudhury struggled at right-back at times before Pereira came in, so the latter will probably get the nod once more.

CM: Harry Winks

No one will be more desperate than Harry Winks to get back to the Premier League having been a regular fixture in the top flight for Tottenham Hotspur in the past.

He's been a hugely important player for Leicester this term and should keep his place.

Another man who will be desperate to get back to the top level is Wilfred Ndidi, who arguably deserves another chance to play in the top tier.

He could also use the remaining games to put himself in the shop window ahead of the summer window, with Barcelona recently being linked with a move for him.

CM: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is another player who is currently attracting interest.

Having been a real asset in the final third this term, it's no surprise that he has been one of the first names on the teamsheet this season.

LW: Stephy Mavididi

Stephy Mavididi popped up at the right time again to score a crucial winner against Birmingham.

That contribution should help him cement his place in the starting XI for the Millwall game.

RW: Abdul Fatawu

Abdul Fatawu is another attacking threat from out wide and is doing more than enough to retain his place in the starting XI at the moment.

ST: Jamie Vardy

It wouldn't be a surprise to see Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka rotated in and out of the starting lineup for the remainder of the season.

With Daka not doing a huge amount last weekend, Vardy may come back in.
