Team news
Brentford: Frank has hinted he'll play more senior players compared to the previous round, when he made 10 changes for a 1-0 win over Stoke.
Said Benrahma, Bryan Mbeumo and Ollie Watkins have scored a combined 34 goals this season, but the former will definitely not feature against the Foxes following the death of his father earlier this week.
Joel Valencia is ready to take his chance if selected.
Leicester: Jamie Vardy will miss out after sustaining a glute injury against West Ham, meaning Kelechi Iheanacho should start.
Midfielder Nampalys Mendy will also be assessed after limping off just after the half-hour mark with a knee injury.
