Leicester City assistant manager Craig Shakespeare has told Chris Wood to be ready to roll.
Wood gave a reminder of his striking prowess with a double strike in the friendly victory over Aston Villa this week.
"He has had to be patient this season, as a lot have to be and have been," said Shakespeare.
"Chris has looked sharp in training and he took his goals well against Villa. He could have had more but he will be pleased to score two.
"All strikers are judged on their goals and Chris did well to put them away.
"Chris has had a frustrating start but it is a long season. The players who haven't featured much have to make sure whenever they are called upon, whether to start or off the bench, that they are ready.
"That is why this performance was so pleasing. They all didn't let not being involved at certain times this season affect them.
"They went about it in the right way, as you would expect and want. We all know sometimes that doesn't happen. They can all be pleased with that."
