I would probably look for a bit more solidity in the middle, and would include Barton.
Heaton
Lowton Keane Mee Ward
Boyd Hendrick Barton Defour JBG

Think OP might have it although it wouldn't be a great surprise if Arfield started ahead of JBG.

As per the OP. Leave Barton on the bench. He might come into his own for Saturday at Watford.

ClaretandBlueAndy gets another vote from me.
Gives us a good strong start in which hopefully we can get ahead.
Barton, Arfield and Vokes to come on to secure the the points after 60 minutes.
I hope its cold, wet and miserable tonight for the East Midlands whingers. CFS will no doubt be on top form to further dampen their spirits.

I think this is the most likely starting 11, but with JBG on the right and Boyd on the left

Fully expect Boyd on the left tonight regardless of the rest of the XI, presuming he's not got a knock. I'd expect Mahrez to operate down the Leicester right, so its important that Ward has plenty of help on that side of the pitch.

Exactly. And with Barnes up front with Gray, gives us the option of using him as a pseudo left winger when Boyd is deep
And I don't think anybody will be too concerned about Leicester having plenty of possession tonight. Best way to beat them - play them at their own game. Sit back, give them the ball, stop them playing counter attacks, and hit them on the break against their aging CBs. A certain start for Andre tonight given his performance against similarly tardy Sunderland defenders

Agreed Morgan looks overweight and slow this season
