Town could hand a debut to new signing Brian Murphy, with Arran Lee-Barrett's place in goal under threat.
Jon Stead's suspension means Stern John will again lead the line, while Gareth McAuley continues to play on despite breaking his wrist on Boxing Day.
It may seem fanciful to label this as a match between two play-off rivals, given the visitors begin the weekend 14 places and 13 points behind Leicester.
But a run of one defeat in 12 league games has given Ipswich fans some hope that a season which started in disarray could yet be salvaged.
Leicester enjoyed a hugely successful 2009, comfortably winning League One before quickly finding their feet in the Championship.
The Foxes are confident the match, which was moved to Sunday to accommodate Leicester Tigers' game against Wasps 24 hours earlier, will go ahead. The Walkers Stadium has undersoil heating, while plans are in place to keep nearby roads and car parks free of ice.
