Nigerian international Wilfred Ndidi and his Leicester teammates will be hoping to move to second place on the English Premier League table as they take on Southampton at the St Mary’s Stadium.
A win for the 2016 champions will take their points to 20, a point above Manchester City and five points adrift leaders Liverpool.
The Foxes will be hoping to win their first match on a Friday as they have lost five and drew two.
Southampton winger Moussa Djenepo is back in training after six weeks out with a hip injury but he won’t be fit in time for the visit of Leicester.
Defender Cedric is still sidelined with a calf injury.
Leicester have no new injury problems, with James Maddison fully fit again.
The midfielder was substituted as a precaution during last week’s win over Burnley following injury and illness, but he will be ready again for Friday’s game.
