Tottenham Hotspur
As well as Matt Doherty and Japhet Tanganga - both of whom are out for the season with knee injuries - Spurs have also revealed that Oliver Skipp will be sidelined for the long-term after undergoing a groin operation.
The 21-year-old had struggled to overcome injury and infection in the area and will aim to be back in training for the pre-season, while Sergio Reguilon will also miss out due to groin pain.
The Lilywhites' XI should have a familiar feel to it despite the recent pair of disappointing results, as Ryan Sessegnon continues on the left and Harry Kane seeks to build on a tally of 18 goals in 17 matches against the Foxes.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
Leicester City
As if Rodgers has not had enough defensive absentees to worry about this season, Leicester lost Timothy Castagne to an eye injury in the 21st minute against Roma, but Rodgers has affirmed that the right-back is in contention to line up here after scans did not show any serious injury.
Ryan Bertrand and Wilfred Ndidi are still out for the Foxes, and the need to be cautious over Castagne opens up a spot for Luke Thomas to return as James Justin hopes to deputise for Ricardo Pereira on the right.
Jamie Vardy lasted just over an hour on Thursday and will almost certainly be rested ahead of the second leg, so Kelechi Iheanacho could also return in a much-changed Leicester XI this week.
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Schmeichel; Justin, Soyuncu, Amartey, Thomas; Tielemans, Soumare; Lookman, Maddison, Barnes; Iheanacho
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Leicester City
