Double defensive boost for Foxes

Leicester could welcome back Sean St Ledger and Zak Whitbread for the Capital One Cup tie with Burton.

The duo have yet to feature this season but boss Nigel Pearson is likely to have both involved at the King Power Stadium. St Ledger has been sidelined through a knee injury while Whitbread has been building up his fitness following his summer move from Norwich. Pearson could hand one of them a starting spot as fellow defender Liam Moore is doubtful after suffering a knock towards the end of the 2-1 defeat at Blackburn. The likes of Neil Danns, Anthony Knockaert, Martyn Waghorn and Jeff Schlupp will be hoping for a chance to impress from the start after being named as substitutes in each league game this season.
