Leicester City team news v Southampton as Divine Mukasa handed full debut among three changes | OneFootball

Divine Mukasa makes his full Leicester City debut as Andy King names three changes to face Southampton.

According to LeicesterMercury.co.uk, the Manchester City loanee replaces suspended Bobby De Cordova-Reid in attacking midfield after a cameo at Birmingham.

Joe Aribo is ineligible to face his parent club. Harry Winks starts for the first time since November at the base, with Oliver Skipp moving into the number eight role.

Caleb Okoli returns from suspension and replaces Jamaal Lascelles, who drops to the bench after an impressive debut at Birmingham. It was his first start in 23 months, so he may be benched to avoid overworking him.

Ricardo Pereira keeps his place at right-back ahead of Bade Aluko, and Luke Thomas stays in ahead of Victor Kristiansen. Asmir Begovic remains in goal, with Patson Daka again preferred to Jordan Ayew.

There is no Jeremy Monga among the substitutes, while Silko Thomas and Wanya Marcal return to the squad.

City, 4-3-3: Begovic; Ricardo, Okoli, Nelson, L Thomas; Winks, Skipp, Mukasa; Fatawu, Daka, Mavididi. Subs: Stolarczyk, Lascelles, Aluko, Kristiansen, Page, Marcal, Richards, S Thomas, Ayew.
