Demarai Gray could make his Leicester debut in the FA Cup third-round clash with Tottenham on Sunday.
The 19-year-old winger is in contention to feature after completing his move from Birmingham to Leicester on Tuesday.
Claudio Ranieri is expected to make changes, with leading scorer Jamie Vardy unavailable after undergoing a minor groin operation.
He could be back when Leicester return to north London next week in the Premier League but Jeff Schlupp (hamstring) and Matty James (knee) will miss both matches.
Spurs will be without Ryan Mason and Mousa Dembele due to ankle injuries while Clinton N'Jie is out with a knee problem.
Alex Pritchard is close to resuming first team training after four months out with an ankle injury but the winger is still some way short of match fitness.
Mauricio Pochettino has admitted he is likely to make a raft of changes to his side following a busy festive period, but insists he will respect the competition despite the focus being on the league.
"It's not a distraction, the FA Cup is the oldest competition in the world. We respect the competition a lot," he said. "We have a strong squad. It's true we come off a very busy period in Christmas.
"But it's a good opportunity, maybe for some players who cannot play consistently play in the Premier League, to show their quality and fight for their place in the team."
As he did in the League Cup this season, Ranieri will also make wholesale changes to his team, saying: "We will change a lot, because these players deserve a chance to play. It will be a blend of players. Our mentality won't change. We go to win. If Tottenham are better, well done to them.
"I am very motivated. I have never been to Wembley and I would love to be at Wembley."
