Predicted Leicester City XI to face Leeds United in the Premier League

Leicester City take on Leeds United in the Premier League this weekend as they try to keep pace at the top. The Foxes are in tremendous form with 4 wins from their last 5 games. They did, however, settle for a draw against Everton in the last game.

Leeds, on the other hand, have endured mixed form over the last few weeks, winning three and losing two in their last 5 games. Leicester are expected to edge this game out given their superior form but Leeds have been the surprise package this season.

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, Jonny Evans and star striker Jamie Vardy. Nonetheless, a strong line-up is still expected to walk out.

Probable Leicester XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Kasper Schmeichel (GK)

Number one for the team, keeps his place between the sticks from the last game.

James Justin (LB)

Should keep his place in the full-back spot and looks to have made it his own for the time being.

Wesley Fofana (CB)

The former St. Etienne man has settled in well at the club since his transfer.

Caglar Soyuncu (CB)

With Evans out for the time being, a lot will be riding on Soyuncu to marshal the defence.

Timothy Castagne (RB)

Settled in well since his move from Atalanta. Has pretty much cemented his place in the side.

Youri Tielemans (DM)

The Belgian is the heartbeat of Brendan Rodgers’ side. His passing and creativity are second to none in the team.

Nampalys Mendy (DM)

Will be a vital presence in the absence of Wilfred Ndidi. Needs to provide steel and protection to the side.

Marc Albrighton (RW)

Should continue in his role from the last match.

James Maddison(AM)

Another of Rodgers’ most important players, Maddison will have to play in his usual No.10 role and provide the creativity.

Harvey Barnes (LW)

A huge threat from the left, Barnes will once again be tasked to cause problems for the opposite number.

Kelechi Iheanacho (ST)

While Ayoze Perez deputised for Vardy in the last game, Iheanacho could be given a start this time around.
