New signings Samir, Edo Kayembe and Hassane Kamara all put in solid showings on their debut against Newcastle and should keep their spot in the side for the welcome of Norwich. Claudio Ranieri could make two changes to his XI for Friday's come with Kiko Femenia and Tom Cleverley coming in at right-back and midfield, respectively. Imran Louza, Adam Masina and William Troost-Ekong are all at AFCON and unavailable, while Nicolas Nkoulou, Peter Etebo, Kwadwo Baah and Ismaila Sarr are ruled out through injury. Danny Rose has been frozen out by Ranieri, so won't be playing again anytime soon. Max Aarons and Brandon Williams are fine to play on Friday after picking up knocks in Norwich's 2-1 win over Everton last time out. Dean Smith has confirmed Tim Krul is out with a shoulder injury sustained against Everton so Angus Gunn will deputise. Smith expects to welcome back Mathias Normann, Billy Gilmour, Lukas Rupp and Andrew Omobamidele back for the FA Cup but not here. Kenny McLean is back in contention after recovering from COVID to bolster Smith's midfield options.
