How Leicester City will line up at the King Power Stadium: Ben Nelson and Tom Cannon are not included in the matchday squad, and Jamie Vardy and James Justin are bench players.

Patson Daka and Callum Doyle will start for Leicester City against Birmingham, as Enzo Maresca has picked an unchanged lineup.

The relegation-battling Blues will visit City on Monday, and following a 3-1 victory over in-form Norwich on Monday and an outstanding performance to boot, manager Maresca has decided to remain with the same lineup. That implies Daka is starting over from scratch once more.

Eight days after his previous start, against Bristol City, Jamie Vardy would have been a contender, but for the time being, the Zambian captain leads the line. He’ll be trying to score the team’s first goal in seven appearances.

Doyle maintains his position as left back in the meantime. If Maresca had felt he required more speed in the backline to handle Birmingham’s threats, he would have gone with James Justin, but Doyle’s skill with the ball kept him in the starting lineup.

For City, the bench is also unaltered. Both Tom Cannon and Ben Nelson are fit now, but neither is used as a substitute. Maresca has backup defense options in Justin and Conor Coady, and forward options in Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho.

City (4-3-3): Hermansen; Doyle; Winks, Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall; Ricardo, Faes, Vestergaard; Fatawu, Daka, Mavididi. Stolarczyk, Coady, Justin, Choudhury, Praet, Marcal, Iheanacho, Vardy, and Yunus are the substitutes.
