Leicester City team news v West Brom as Jeremy Monga starts, Luke Thomas benched | OneFootball

Jeremy Monga has his first Leicester City start in more than two months, one of three changes to face West Brom. He replaces Stephy Mavididi on the left.

According to LeicesterMercury.co.uk, his previous start was at the end of October in the loss to Millwall after 14 games as a substitute or sidelined.

Hamza Choudhury comes in for Luke Thomas, who is on the bench for only the third time this season. It could be a straight swap at left-back, or captain Ricardo Pereira could switch sides.

The final change is up front, with Jordan Ayew returning and Silko Thomas making way after his first start at Sheffield United.

With only three alterations, the centre-back partnership of Ben Nelson and Caleb Okoli continues. Jannik Vestergaard is among the substitutes and Wout Faes is again absent.

Louis Page’s bright cameo at Bramall Lane is not rewarded with a start, with Oliver Skipp, Jordan James and Bobby De Cordova-Reid in midfield. The three players to make way are on the bench, joined by Wanya Marcal and Patson Daka.

City (4-3-3): Stolarczyk; Ricardo, Okoli, Nelson, Choudhury; Skipp, James, De Cordova-Reid; Fatawu, Ayew, Monga.

Subs: Begovic, Vestergaard, L Thomas, Aluko, Page, Marcal, Mavididi, S Thomas, Daka.
