New record signing Leonardo Ulloa will make his Leicester City debut tomorrow when they take on Everton in a prestigious friendly in Bangkok.
The Argentine striker joined City earlier this week from Brighton for £8million, rising to £10m if he is successful.
Manager Nigel Pearson confirmed Ulloa is ready to taste some game time.
The City boss told a press conference at Bangkok airport yesterday that, although Ulloa had only done one full training session with his new team-mates, he would play against Everton at the Supachalasai Stadium.
Assistant manager Craig Shakespeare also said Riyad Mahrez could make his first appearance of pre-season after joining City late in training following his World Cup exploits with Algeria in Brazil.
"The session when we first arrived here was the first training session Leo has joined in on, also for Riyad, but they have both done some work in and around the training ground and undergone fitness tests," said Shakespeare.
"Riyad hasn't had a lot of time off after the World Cup and you could see from the training sessions they wanted to join in, they are keen to get involved.
"I was very pleased with the way they applied themselves in the session."
The conditions will be a real test for City and the Toffees.
City conducted a late night training session after arriving on Thursday and it was still nearly 30 degrees and extremely humid, and Shakespeare said it would be a factor tomorrow.
"At times we will have to manage the ball and pass it, and there might be stops and starts," he said. "Both teams are Premier League teams and it will be interesting to see if both can play at a high tempo.
"We pride ourselves on playing with a good tempo. We will have to see how it is on the day."
The game is set to be streamed live for City fans who have not made the 6,000-mile trip to Thailand.
The match, which kicks off at 12.20pm UK time, is being screened with Livesport as part of a Foxes Player pilot.
Viewing the game will cost £3.99. Details will be on the club's official website.
