Leicester City team news v Ipswich as Ricardo returns and James fit to start | OneFootball

LeicesterMercury.co.uk reports that Ricardo Pereira returns as Leicester City's only change to face Ipswich, with Marti Cifuentes reverting to the side that beat Derby last weekend.

The captain sat out in midweek when Hamza Choudhury filled in at right-back, but that switch has been reversed for the visit of the Tractor Boys.

Injuries leave the rest of the line-up settled. Jordan James was passed fit after a groin issue and starts in midfield with Oliver Skipp and Bobby De Cordova-Reid, who is aiming to score in a third straight game.

Harry Winks is again absent from the squad, so Choudhury and Louis Page provide midfield cover. In defence, academy graduate Ben Nelson again starts ahead of Wout Faes, partnering Jannik Vestergaard, with Luke Thomas at left-back.

Jordan Ayew leads the line, supported by Abdul Fatawu and Stephy Mavididi. Jake Evans is among the substitutes and hopes to make his first senior outing of the season from the bench.

City line-up, four-three-three: Stolarczyk in goal, a back four of Ricardo Pereira, Ben Nelson, Jannik Vestergaard and Luke Thomas, midfield three Oliver Skipp, Jordan James and Bobby De Cordova-Reid, front three Abdul Fatawu, Jordan Ayew and Stephy Mavididi. Bench: Begovic, Faes, Aluko, Choudhury, Page, S Thomas, Evans, Carranza, Daka.
