Jamie Vardy is fit to face Manchester United as the Leicester striker aims to make history.The 28-year-old will set a new Barclays Premier League record if he nets in his 11th straight game on Saturday - beating Ruud van Nistelrooy's achievement the Dutchman set in 2003.
Vardy has been carrying a minor hip problem but will play with Matty James the only absentee for boss Claudio Ranieri as the midfielder continues to recover from a long-term knee injury.
Defender Phil Jones and midfielder Ander Herrera are out of Manchester United's match at Leicester because of their respective ankle and hamstring injuries.
Midfielder Michael Carrick is unlikely to feature as he is still recovering from the ankle injury he suffered playing for England against Spain two weeks ago.
Long-term absentees Luke Shaw (leg) and Antonio Valencia (foot) remain sidelined.
Leicester squad: Schmeichel, Schwarzer, De Laet, Fuchs, Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Benalouane, Wasilewski, Schlupp, Drinkwater, Inler, Dyer, Kante, King, Albrighton, Mahrez, Vardy, Ulloa, Kramaric, Okazaki.
Man Utd squad: De Gea, Romero, Johnstone, Rojo, Tuanzebe, Smalling, Darmian, McNair, Mata, Blind, Young, Schneiderlin, Powell, Fellaini, Schweinsteiger, Lingard, Depay, Pereira, Rooney, Martial.
