Foxes v Cheltenham. Match preview

Last updated : 07 March 2009 By Foxes First

Pearson will choose from the same squad that drew with Stockport on Tuesday night.

That means on-loan Hull defender Wayne Brown remains out with a calf problem.

And in the continued absence of David Martin, another on-loan keeper - David Stockdale - will continue in goal after making his full debut against the Hatters just 24 hours after arriving from Fulham.

The 1-1 draw against Stockport was the fourth successive time that the Foxes have had to share the points at home.

Pearson's League One leaders have not won at the Walkers Stadium since beating Huddersfield 4-2 on January 24.

Cheltenham boss Martin Allen will be without Ashley Vincent.

The winger, who could be set for a loan move to Brentford with the Robins trying to strengthen their finances, was forced out of Tuesday's 2-2 draw against Swindon with medial ligament damage to his knee.

He will definitely miss the trip to the Walkers Stadium as Allen comes up against his former employers, but the west country outfit are hopeful he will not be out for the long-term.

Forward Damian Spencer is another player who may have to be sold due to the club's financial restraints, with Yeovil thought to be keen.

Elsewhere, on-loan winger Michail Antonio (ankle) could resume training next week but will not be ready for Saturday while defenders Drissa Diallo (cut eye) and Alan Wright (calf) will also miss out.

Nicholas Bignall is receiving treatment on a groin problem from parent club Reading and may not make the trip, midfielder Marley Watkins is also doubtful with an adductor injury. But defender Michael Townsend (hamstring) is back in training.
