Defender to miss out

Leicester boss Nigel Pearson is still without defender Aleksandar Tunchev for tonight's trip to QPR following a knee operation.

He is the only absentee to the side and Pearson is unlikely to make many changes to the team which beat Reading on Monday night meaning Bruno Berner and Michael Morrison will have to settle for places on the bench.

Meanwhile the club have abandoned their efforts to sign Edgar Davids, following weeks of discussions the two sides could not agree a deal.
