Leicester will return to the top of League One if they beat Yeovil on Tuesday evening.

The Foxes are currently in fifth, but they will jump to the summit with victory over The Glovers at The Walkers Stadium.

Leicester will be without Patrick Kisnorbo for the clash after he was ruled out for six weeks after suffering a knee injury in the FA Cup first-round victory over Stevenage.

Marc Edworthy is expected to continue at right-back after making his debut on Saturday while DJ Campbell and Paul Dickov put themselves in contention for a place after successful comebacks from injury.

On-loan Arsenal defender Kerrea Gilbert is expected to make the squad despite not fully recovering from the illness that ruled him out at the weekend.

Meanwhile, long-term absentees Stephen Clemence (Achilles), Bruno N'Gotty (Achilles) and James Wesolowski (ankle) are a few months away from a return.

Yeovil news

Yeovil boss Russell Slade will be boosted by the return of on-loan Stockport defender Gareth Owen for the match at Leicester.

Owen was ineligible for Saturday's FA Cup tie against his parent club, which ended 1-1 thanks to an equaliser from skipper Terry Skiverton.

Skiverton and Terrell Forbes returned to the starting line-up in the absence of Owen and Aaron Brown.

Brown, who missed the Stockport clash with a hip injury, could be also be in contention to play at the Walkers Stadium.

The match also marked the Yeovil debut of on-loan Millwall striker Gifton Noel-Williams who is expected to continue in attack.

On-loan Peterborough forward Scott Rendell started on the bench but was introduced as Noel-Williams' 70th minute replacement and is pushing for a starting spot.
