Leicester v Macclesfield
Leicester are boosted by the return to fitness of midfielder Gareth Williams who had a thigh strain.
Right-back Darren Kenton is hoping to be involved despite suffering a recurrence of an ankle injury against Coventry on Friday.

Macclesfield will be without the injured Matty McNeil and Dave Morley.

Jordan Hadfield and Martin Bullock, who missed training on Friday, will both have late fitness tests, while Andrew Smart is stepping up his training.

Leicester 2-0 Macclesfield
Chris O'Grady and Paddy McCarthy scored as Leicester eased past Macclesfield in front of 6,298 at the Walkers Stadium.
Macclesfield's Richard Stearman forced a save from Jonny Brain before O'Grady, making his first senior start for the Foxes, scored from 18 yards.

Alan Maybury, Josh Low and Gareth Williams all missed the target, while Brain saved from Levi Potter.

But with full-time looming McCarthy headed a corner from Williams past Town keeper Brain.
