Danny Ward - Concedes two goals to Villa Ward made three saves but conceded two goals in Saturday's 4-2 victory against Aston Villa.
Impact Ward was beaten by an Ollie Watkins strike and an own goal from Harry Souttar on Saturday, but his side eventually earned a tough win thanks in part to an inspired Kelechi Iheanacho performance. Next weekend he will face Tottenham, which have scored 40 goals in 21 matches this season, the third-highest scoring team in the Premier League.

Kelechi Iheanacho - Scores goal, brace of assists Iheanacho scored a goal and recorded two assists in Saturday's 4-2 victory against Aston Villa. He also made two clearances in the match.
Impact Iheanacho was heavily involved in his side's come-from-behind victory on Saturday, as his second goal of the season was sandwiched by setting up strikes for James Maddison and Tete. He has started just two Premier League games in this campaign, but he's found the net in both of them (the previous one coming in a 5-2 loss against Brighton in early September).

James Maddison - Scores goal against Villa Maddison scored a goal and created two chances in Saturday's 4-2 victory against Aston Villa. He took two shots overall in the match.
Impact Maddison scored an early equalizing goal in his return to the XI in the Premier League Saturday after missing much of the last month or so with a knee injury. This was his eighth goal of the season, which ties his personal second-best mark from 2020/21 and is only four shy of his record tally of 12 from last season.

Impact Souttar was unfortunate to score an own goal in his Premier League debut for Leicester on Saturday, but it ultimately didn't have an effect on the scoreline and result. He has likely already overtaken Daniel Amartey as the preferred center-back partner for Wout Faes at his new club.

He's trained with the squad today, but he's one of the players I need to assess. If it wasn't for this weekend, he'd certainly be ready to go for the following weekend" said head coach Brenden Rodgers.

"Jamie hasn't done so much over this last period of time but he's out on the field, so we'll see what his reaction is like to that" said heach coach Brendan Rodgers. If he sits out, Patson Daka will start up top with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Impact It's a big deal for Souttar, who made a name for himself internationally at the World Cup for Australia. He's a towering center-back, who battled an injury earlier in the season but has been a regular at Stoke the last few campaigns. He figures to immediately fight for starts on the Leicester back line that has struggled for consistency all season.
