Russell Martin made new changes to his team, and again playing Bobby De Cordova-Reid as a striker. Not commenting that anymore. Admir Bristric on the bench, also Will Alves being left there. Possibly a fitness situation. Conor Chaplin getting the captaincy, still playing Harry Souttar, so changes are happening all the way.

Jacub Storlarczyk in goal, hopefully that is settled once and for all. He made no mistakes today and a proper first choice at this level. Christian McFarlane keeping his place at left back, playing Luke Thomas in the centre with Souttar, Jayden Joseph to the right. Braybrooke and Page with Chaplin in the midfield area. Burns, BDCR and Watson up front.

After 5 minutes, Leicester makes several poor decisions, allowing Burton forward Matthew Dennis to score easily. The visitors lead 1-0, giving a packed King Power Stadium a terrible start.
