Leicester City take a break from their league programme on Saturday when they travel to managerless Huddersfield in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup.
The Terriers sacked manager Simon Grayson on Thursday after going 12 games without a win in the Championship and less than a year in charge. During that time he guided Huddersfield out of League One after beating Sheffield United in the playoff final, finishing an 11-year absence from the second tier of English football.
Academy coaches Mark Lillis and Steve Eyre will take charge of this game and will be without Jermaine Beckford and Neil Danns as both are ineligible to play against their parent club.
Winger Danny Ward (foot) and defender Joel Lynch (hamstring) both remain sidelined, while midfielder Adam Clayton is a doubt after sustaining a knee injury in last weekend's 4-0 defeat at Watford.
Keith Southern replaced the Northern Irish international during that game and could start, while Oliver Norwood and Scott Arfield are also options.
Nigel Pearson has said that he is likely to make changes for the trip to Yorkshire with Andy King, Lloyd Dyer and Martyn Waghorn all possible starters.
Defenders Sean St Ledger and Zak Whitbread remain out with hamstring and calf injuries respectively, so Wes Morgan and Michael Keane are likely to start at centre back. Liam Moore is also an option.
Academy striker Joe Dodoo has been named in the squad, while midfielder Richie Wellens is fully fit after recovering from his knee injury.
This will be the third time both teams have met this season, with the Foxes running out victorious both times in memorable fashion. A 2-0 win at the John Smith's Stadium in October saw Anthony Knockaert score two goal of the season contenders, while the start of 2013 was heralded in with a 6-1 win at the King Power Stadium as debutant Chris Wood bagged a brace.
Huddersfield Town caretaker manager Mark Lillis: "There are no points to play for on Saturday, so perhaps the pressure is less, but it is an FA Cup tie with a view to getting into the Fifth Round.
"In the end it's important because it's a game of football for Huddersfield Town. I've had 14 years here now as a player and now a coach. When I played here I wasn't the best player, but I knew that if I put a shift in the players would get behind me and we've challenged the players to do that.
"Leicester are near the top of the League; they're a good outfit. They have a good, experienced manager and have some real athletes in their team. It will be a hard game."
Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson: "We have played them twice this season and we will have to put on a professional performance because they will want a response.
"Both sides will be aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses but, in cup competitions, on any given day, strange things can happen. You've got to be mentally prepared for the game, but also go out and make sure you perform.
"It will be a different game to the last time we played them in that they will be more positive at home and they will want to put on a good show. We've got to be right for it."
