Harry Maguire has returned to the Leicester starting XI for their Friday Night Football clash against Newcastle.

The defender was rested for the 4-1 win at Huddersfield last weekend following the birth of his daughter Lillie, but he returns to replace Caglar Soyuncu at centre-back.

Otherwise the Foxes are unchanged as they look for a fifth win in a row.

Live FNF

Florian Lejeune misses out for Newcastle after suffering a knee injury during the 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace last time out.

He is replaced in defence by Javier Manquillo while Paul Dummett comes in for DeAndre Yedlin.
