Nigel Pearson may hand a debut to new signing Marcin Masilewski providing he receives international clearance before Leicester host Derby inside the third round on the Capital One Cup. The Poland international defender joined with Foxes after being released by Anderlecht and may even be called upon as Leicester browse build on an encouraging will the season.
Chris Wood, who scored a hat-trick in the previous round against Carlisle, will pass up using the hamstring injury that kept him from the weekend draw with Blackpool while Sean St Ledger aren't going to be considered despite going back to training after a knee injury.
Leicester will probably be hoping their impressive home record resistant to the Rams continues that's seen the hosts remain unbeaten in over 11 years since Derby won 3-0 in the thing that was then the Barclays Premier League encounter.
Nigel Clough may prefer to shuffle his pack when Derby travel the short distance, with Michael Jacobs and Conor Sammon in the frame.
Northern Irish forward Jamie Ward has played five games in 16 days and is still monitored after hamstring problems hampered his season recently while Will Hughes played on Saturday despite being subbed the week before having a groin problem.
Midfielders Jeff Hendrick (ankle) and James Bailey (knee) continue their recovery from knocks while centre-halves Shaun Barker and Mark O'Brien both remain on the sidelines with knee problems.
The action in the King Power Stadium offer Clough and his awesome team the ability to avenge the property defeat inflicted by Nigel Pearson's men earlier inside the league campaign when goalkeeper Lee Grant's error gifted the Foxes a single-0 win.
