Leicester City predicted XI vs Stockport with Russell Martin making three changes | OneFootball

Leicester City visit Stockport in League One tomorrow, seeking a response to last week’s 4-0 loss to Oxford. According to LeicesterMercury.co.uk, it is their first league trip to Edgeley Park since 2008.

Russell Martin is set to adjust after a fragile defensive display and a blunt attack. Stockport, last season’s play-off final runners-up, are third, with Barnsley to follow.

Conor Chaplin and Caleb Okoli could return to the squad, and deadline-day signing John Lundstram is in contention. With only seven substitutes permitted, some will miss out.

It feels unlikely that McCarthy is replaced in goal despite conceding four, making it seven in three. Franco Ravizzoli is waiting if goals keep flowing.

O'Hora was the pick of the back four and can step inside, though he was caught by the high line for Oxford’s second. He starts alongside one fortunate survivor, Souttar, whose strengths suggest the high line needs a rethink.

The first change comes next to Souttar, with a new signing coming in to aid build-up. O'Hora knows the style, so adaptation should be straightforward.

McFarlane struggled and was targeted by Mo Missanga yet kept his place over Luke Thomas. Even so, it would be no surprise if Thomas is preferred.

If Lundstram is not fit, 18-year-old Page starts, while Braybrooke also toiled, prompting calls to swap their roles.

Chaplin’s presence is needed on the right if fit. Howell’s minutes need managing, Alves has been City’s main threat, and Riis linked well on debut and needs a goal.
