Nigel Pearson makes an emotional voyage back to his old team Leicester City as Bristol City travels to the King Power Arena for the first time in over 11 years.
Before his departure in 2015, Pearson led the Foxes for two different periods of time and was a major factor in their Premier League championship. The 60-year-old will have former Leicester players Andy King and Matty James at his disposal as he works to plan their destruction.
Following are the most recent injury and team updates prior to Leicester City vs. Bristol City:

Andi Weimann should be ready after missing the past few weeks of activity due to Plantar fasciitis, according to Nigel Pearson’s most recent injury update. He has since been ejected from games against Preston North End and Hull City, but he is now back in the running after the problem was fixed.
According to his management, Tommy Conway (hamstring) is healing’very well’ and should make a comeback in October. Ross McCrorie, a summer acquisition who has yet to make his club’s competitive debut due to an infection, is expected to make a comeback in the new year after undergoing successful surgery.
