Aaron Ramsey has been handed his Leicester City debut with the Burnley loanee the only change made by Marti Cifuentes for the clash with Oxford.
Deadline-day arrival Ramsey comes in for Louis Page in attacking midfield, with the academy graduate, who suffered a minor hamstring strain over the international break, missing from the squad completely.
City’s other deadline-day signings Jordan James and Julian Carranza are on the bench, but there’s no place in the squad for new goalkeeper Fran Vieites.
Bobby De Cordova-Reid, fit again after suffering an injury on Jamaica duty over the summer, is included in the matchday squad for the first time.
Hamza Choudhury retains his spot at right-back and keeps the armband despite Ricardo Pereira scoring off the bench last time out against Birming
