Team News: Riyad Mahrez back for Leicester City against Crystal Palace

Riyad Mahrez is recalled to the Leicester City team for their clash with Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium.

Riyad Mahrez has been recalled to the Leicester City team for this afternoon's clash with Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium.

After two matches as a substitute, the Algerian has been brought back into the side in place of Shinji Okazaki in Claudio Ranieri's only change to the team which came from 2-0 down to draw at Southampton last weekend.

Premier League top scorer Jamie Vardy again leads the line for the Foxes as he looks to take his goal tally into double figures for the season by scoring in a seventh consecutive league match.

For Palace, there are three changes as Adrian Mariappa replaces the injured Pape Souare at left-back and Bakary Sako is preferred to Wilfried Zaha on the wing.

With Dwight Gayle suspended, Alan Pardew has chosen Fraizer Campbell to step into the striker's shoes, handing the former Manchester United man his first league start of the season.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Kante, Drinkwater; Albrighton, Schlupp, Mahrez; Vardy
Subs: Schwarzer, De Laet, King, Kramaric, Okazaki, Dyer, Inler

Crystal Palace: Hennessey; Mariappa, Dann, Hangeland, Kelly; McArthur, Cabaye; Puncheon, Sako, Bolasie; Campbell
Subs: Speroni, Delaney, Jedinak, Mutch, Ledley, Zaha, Bamford
