Leicester City manager Russell Martin is expected to make only one change from the league draw against Barnsley when facing Peterborough United at the King Power Stadium. Following the departure of Wout Faes, defender Harry Souttar is predicted to slot into the backline alongside Warren O'Hora. Injuries continue to sideline key squad members, including City's regular right-back as well as Conor Chaplin and Will Smallbone.
