Leicester City have made four changes to their side for this afternoon's clash with Aston Villa, while the away side have made just two alterations.

Despite a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United in the FA Cup third round last weekend, Nigel Pearson has left a number of players out and recalled Danny Simpson, Marcin Wasilewski, Dean Hammond and Marc Albrighton.

Aston Villa are without the services of Ron Vlaar, who picked up an injury in midweek, so Paul Lambert has named the same back four that started the 1-0 triumph over Blackpool last weekend.

The only changes made are the returns of Brad Guzan in goal and Christian Benteke in attack.

Leicester: Hamer; Simpson, Wasilewski, Morgan, Konchesky; James, Hammond, Albrighton, Knockaert, Nugent, Ulloa
Subs: Schwarzer, De Laet, Vardy, King, Lawrence, Moore, Wood

Aston Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Cleverley, Cole, Westwood, Sanchez, Benteke, Agbonlahor
Subs: Given, Bacuna, Weimann, N'Zogbia, Lowton, Richardson, Baker
