Predicted Leicester XI to face Leeds in the Premier League
Leicester take on Premier League new boys Leeds United on Monday night. The Foxes are in good form with 3 wins their last 3 games, which includes a win over Arsenal in the league.
Leeds have also been in good touch, with just one loss in the last 5 games. They thrashed Aston Villa in their last game and sit pretty in the top half of the table. Expect a tactical masterclass from both Marco Bielsa and Brendan Rodgers.
Team News
Brendan Rodgers will have a few injuries to deal with when it comes to team selection. He will be missing the services of important players such as Wilfred Ndidi, Caglar Soyuncu, Ricardo Pereira, Timothy Castagne and Daniel Amartey. Jonny Evans could be available for this game after suffering a knock.
Probable Leicester XI
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Kasper Schmeichel (GK)
Number one for the team, keeps his place between the sticks from the last game.
Wesley Fofana (CB)
The former St. Etienne man has settled in well at the club since his transfer.
Jonny Evans (CB)
Missed the European outing in midweek. He is expected to return to his duties for this one in place of Wes Morgan.
Christian Fuchs (CB)
Played well as a part of the back three and might well have to continue in the same role until Soyuncu’s return.
James Justin (LWB)
Should keep his place at wing-back and looks to have made it his own for the time being.
Marc Albrighton (RWB)
With Castagne missing out through injury, Albrighton could take his place in the team.
Youri Tielemans (CM)
The Belgian is the heartbeat of Brendan Rodgers’ side. His passing and creativity are second to none in the team.
Nampalys Mendy (CM)
Should return to the line-up in place of Hamza Choudhury after being rested in the midweek.
Dennis Praet (RW)
The midfielder takes over for Cengiz Under for this one. Has been a regular feature in the league games.
James Maddison (LW)
Another of Rodgers’ most important players, Maddison will have to play further forward instead of his usual number 10 role.
Jamie Vardy (ST)
It seems like Jamie Vardy does not age and keeps on scoring for fun. The veteran striker is showing no signs of slowing down and is on fire this season too.
