Rodgers opt for two changes to his Leicester XI by comparison with the EFL Cup loss to Newcastle, as Vardy is preferred to Daka up front and Mendy makes his first Premier League start of the season - coming in for the injured Ayoze Perez. Once again, James Maddison, James Justin and Jonny Evans all miss out too, but Praet is now fit enough for the bench.
