Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Leicester City could line up for Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester United at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Ricardo Pereira will not be available for Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester United at the King Power Stadium.

The right-back suffered a hamstring injury during the 5-0 win over Sheffield United last weekend and will play no part this weekend, joining a lengthy list of absentees for the Foxes.

That list contains some key players too, with Harvey Barnes, James Maddison, Cengiz Under, James Justin and Wes Morgan all still sidelined.

There is better news regarding the fitness of Dennis Praet, who is ready to return to the squad following a hamstring injury.

The Belgian midfielder has missed the last two months and so may not be thrown straight into the starting lineup this weekend, but he should be in contention to feature in some capacity.

Sidnei Tavares is also expected to be available after illness, although he is unlikely to start, with Rodgers likely to name close to his strongest possible XI in a bid to take the club to the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since 1982.

Indeed, the only change from their rout of Sheffield United last time out could be Luke Thomas coming in for the injured Pereira, with Timothy Castagne moving over to the right.

Kelechi Iheanacho should lead the line again following his hat-trick last time out, and he could be joined in attack by Jamie Vardy.

Leicester have seen their eight FA Cup goals this season scored by eight different players, although half of those goalscorers will miss this game through injury.

Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Schmeichel; Fofana, Evans, Soyuncu; Castagne, Ndidi, Tielemans, Thomas; Perez; Iheanacho, Vardy
