The Story in 60 Seconds

Leicester City manager Russell Martin announced he expects to make changes for Tuesday's League One clash against Wigan Athletic following a 2-1 defeat at Luton Town. A 94th-minute winner from Callum Marshall condemned Leicester to defeat after Liam Cullen's late equaliser. Martin noted that the quick turnaround of fixtures and the weekend's loss mean every squad member must be prepared to feature.

LeicestershireLive projects four changes to the starting lineup, anticipating starts for Luke Thomas, Wes Burns, Will Smallbone, and Sammy Braybrooke. Smallbone is expected to replace the suspended John Lundstram in midfield. Bottom-of-the-table Wigan, managed by Gary Caldwell, enter the fixture having lost four of their previous five league matches.
