Team News: Danny Simpson, Andy King back for Leicester

Danny Simpson and Andy King return to the Leicester City starting XI for the visit of West Bromwich Albion.

Danny Simpson and Andy King have returned to the Leicester City starting XI for the visit of West Bromwich Albion tonight.

Having served his one-game suspension for the red card against Arsenal, Simpson returns to right-back in place of Daniel Amartey, who made his debut in the Foxes' 1-0 win over Norwich City last time out.

King, meanwhile, returns to the midfield in place of N'Golo Kante, who is out with a hamstring injury.

Jamie Vardy and Shinji Okazaki continue up front for the league leaders, while Leonardo Ulloa, who popped up with the 89th-minute winner against the Canaries, again starts on the bench.

For the visiting Baggies, Tony Pulis is forced to make just the one change to the side that emerged victorious over Crystal Palace in a five-goal thriller on Saturday.

Veteran defender Chris Brunt was forced off with a knee problem in the first half of the win at The Hawthorns, meaning a recall for James Chester at left-back tonight.

Pulis continues to keep faith with Salomon Rondon and Saido Berahino up front as the visitors look to secure their third league win in a row.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Mahrez, King, Drinkwater, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy
Subs: Amartey, Schlupp, Gray, Ulloa, Wasilewski, Schwarzer, Inler

West Bromwich Albion: Foster; Dawson, Olsson, McAuley, Chester; Yacob, Gardner, Fletcher, Sessegnon; Rondon, Berahino
Subs: Myhill; Anichebe, McClean, Gamboa, Lambert, Pritchard, Sandro
