Chris Wood is likely make his Leicester City debut as the Foxes welcome Huddersfield Town for the first game of 2013.
The New Zealand international striker, 21, signed from West Bromwich Albion earlier this week for £1.25m and the transfer will be made official once the January transfer window opens tomorrow should his registration be ratified by the Football League and the FA.
Wood could partner David Nugent up front after he scored the winner in Saturday's game at Burnley, Leicester's first goal in three games and first win since the beginning of December.
Defender Zak Whitbread and striker Jamie Vardy are both doubts after they missed the trip to Turf Moor, but Manchester United loanee Michael Keane is available. Sean St Ledger remains sidelined with a hamstring problem.
Huddersfield manager and former City defender Simon Grayson welcomes back and is also without two strikers as they look to stop their run of nine games without a win.
Another ex Fox James Vaughan returns after missing several games with a thigh strain, while Alan Lee also comes back after serving a three-match ban. Both are in contention to start the game as Jermaine Beckford is ineligible to face his parent club, while Simon Church has returned to Reading.
Right back Jack Hunt is a doubt after he limped off in the 0-0 draw against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, while fellow full back Calum Woods could also be missing after the groin injury picked up on Boxing Day.
Winger Danny Ward also picked up an injury on Boxing Day so remains doubtful, while midfielder Oscar Gobern remains missing after ankle surgery.
Leicester won the reverse fixture in October as two stunning goals from Anthony Knockaert proved the difference in a 2-0 win, a result which saw Leicester move into second place.
Leicester City assistant manager Craig Shakespeare: "Huddersfield away was one of our best away performances of the season, but we have to make sure we replicate that this time around.
"There are no easy games in the Championship, as soon as you think there are it can bite you in the backside. We know Huddersfield are coming tomorrow to steal the points away from us.
"Hopefully, with the home supporters behind us, we can produce another good performance and make a good start to the year."
Huddersfield manager Simon Grayson: "We may not have won in five, but we have only been beaten once in our last five games.
"We keep picking up points and we need to keep chipping away until we get that victory.
"The players worked harder today (Saturday) and showed a lot of commitment and I am sure that when we start winning games we will show more quality."
