The Story in 60 Seconds

Leicestershire Live writers Daniel Orme and Josh Holland have selected their predicted Leicester City starting line-ups ahead of a League One clash against Doncaster Rovers. Manager Russell Martin is under pressure following a 3-1 defeat to Peterborough United, leaving Leicester in 17th place after losing three of their four home matches. Attacker Conor Chaplin could return to the squad after missing seven games with an injury.

Both writers advocate for tactical and personnel adjustments, including defensive alterations involving Luke Thomas and Christian McFarlane. Josh Holland projects a 4-3-3 formation featuring Alex McCarthy in goal and suggests Chaplin should feature from the bench. Conversely, Daniel Orme argues for a switch to a back-five formation with Franco Ravizzoli starting in goal.
