Brendan Rodgers' side will resume their campaign at Stadium MK on Tuesday. Leicester made a dismal start to the season and sat bottom of the Premier League table in mid-October. At one point Rodgers was rumoured to be one game away from the sack.
But before the pause for World Cup 2022, Leicester had begun to turn things around. A run of four wins in five Premier League games lifted them out of the relegation zone and into mid-table.
The Foxes also booked their place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, edging out Stockport County of penalties before beating Newport County 3-0. They will now be looking to book their place in the quarter-finals for the fifth time in the last six seasons.
Standing in their way are Milton Keynes Dons, who overcame Sutton United, Watford and Morecambe to reach the fourth round, which they had not graced since 2014/15.
This has otherwise been a tough season for MK, who are in the League One relegation zone after 21 matches. They sacked their manager Liam Manning last week, with Dean Lewington currently in caretaker charge.
One thing potentially in MK's favour is the fact they have played no fewer than seven competitive games since Leicester were last in action. That could give them an edge in terms of match sharpness, although the Foxes will no doubt be fresher.
James Maddison, Danny Ward, Youri Tielemans, Timothy Castagne, Wout Faes, Daniel Amartey and Papy Mendy were all at the World Cup, but all seven players should be available for selection as none of their countries went beyond the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, defensive quartet Ryan Bertrand, James Justin, Ricardo Pereira and Caglar Soyuncu are unavailable due to injury.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Carabao Cup football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Carabao Cup action, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
