Leicester City will hope to resume their season from the World Cup break on a positive note when they face MK Dons in the EFL Cup. The round-of-16 contest will be an interesting watch for various reasons. Even though the Foxes will be the favourites in this fixture on paper, the fitness levels of their players are unclear at this point following the World Cup break. Meanwhile, the League One outfit did not have any break, which could allow their players an edge in match sharpness and fitness. MK Dons had to overcome Sutton United, Watford and Morecambe to reach the last-16 stage, while Leicester defeated Stockport County and Newport County in their previous rounds.
MK Dons have been struggling big time in League One, which has resulted in their head coach Liam Manning being sacked.

In the league table, MK Dons are languishing at the 22nd spot with 18 points from 21 games. Meanwhile, Leicester have done impressively well to recover from their disastrous start to the Premier League season. With four wins from their last five league games, they are placed 13th with 17 points from 15 games.

The MK Dons’ camp will be in a positive mood on the back of the victory over Portsmouth. However, their main priority would be to get out of the relegation places in the league. Hence, they would likely rotate their squad in the EFL Cup to keep their players fit for League One matches. Meanwhile, Leicester would have had more or less every one of their World Cup representatives back. However, it is unclear if they will be risked in this match. Besides, Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu, James Justin and Ryan Bertrand will be absent from this clash owing to their injuries.
MK Dons possible line-up: Cumming, Tucker, O’Hora, Jules, Watson, Johnson, Robson, Lawrence, Holland, Grant, Eisa
Leicester City possible line-up: Iversen, Amartey, Faes, Evans, Thomas, Ndidi, Soumare, Perez, Albrighton, Barnes, Vardy
