Two Changes

Nigel Worthington begins his reign as Leicester City boss by making two changes to the starting line up for the Championship clash against Norwich City at the Walkers Stadium.

In come Conrad Logan and Gareth McAuley for Paul Henderson and Alan Maybury.

Henderson drops to the bench, while Maybury has been left out of the 16.

Darren Kenton is expected to switch to right-back to allow McAuley to take up a position in the centre of the Leicester defence.

The City midfield is as was for the Plymouth game on Monday, with Iain Hume and Matty Fryatt again starting in attack.

The big surprise of the day comes on the bench, with 16-year-old Academy star Joe Mattock making the 16.

Mattock has come up through the Leicester ranks, and has played for England through the youth levels. He recently represented his country in an international tournament in Slovenia - starting all three games.

Mattock grew up in the Eyres Monsell area of the city, and will celebrate his 17th birthday on May 17 this year. He has been handed the number 30 shirt.

City: Logan, Kenton, McAuley, Kisnorbo, Johansson, Newton, Jarrett, Wesolowski, Porter, Hume, Fryatt.
Subs: Henderson, Horsfield, Stearman, Hammond, Mattock.

Norwich: to follow.

They will be happy Maybury has been left out if nothing else:icon_roll
Is Mattock a defender,not that he will come on anyway?

Great news for Mattock, hopefully takes his chance today should he get it. Glad to see McCauley back! Interesting that Logan has come in for Hendo...

Midfield, I don't think he could've done any different, without bringing in academy kids. Is Hughes injured or just left out?

The team isn't really different to Kelly would've picked, but hopefully Worthington can get them playing better! Cmon City!

Think he can play defence or midfield... usually left back though I think.
