Patson Daka leads the line for Leicester City at Plymouth with three changes made to the team.

Daka comes in for Jamie Vardy up front and will aim to score for the first time in nine matches, ending a goal drought that has lasted for two months. Vardy is on the bench, along with Tom Cannon, with Kelechi Iheanacho left out.

In the other changes, James Justin comes in for Callum Doyle at left-back while Abdul Fatawu is back into the 11, with Yunus Akgun dropping to the bench. Yunus is the only wide option among the substitutes, with Marc Albrighton and Wanya Marcal both left out of the squad. Ben Nelson is called up, joining Doyle and Conor Coady as defensive options Enzo Maresca could turn to.

Otherwise, it’s the same team that lost at Millwall on Tuesday. Ricardo Pereira, Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard, Harry Winks, Wilfred Ndidi, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Stephy Mavididi are all starting their third game in seven days.

If City win they will strengthen their grip on top spot and move four points clear of third in the race for promotion. Their two closest rivals, Ipswich and Leeds, are both in action on Saturday. Plymouth are struggling down at the bottom of the table and start the evening two points above the relegation zone.

City (4-3-3): Hermansen; Ricardo, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin; Winks, Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall; Fatawu, Daka, Mavididi. Subs: Stolarczyk, Coady, Nelson, Doyle, Choudhury, Praet, Yunus, Vardy, Cannon.
