Riyad Mahrez to run the show for Leicester City

Riyad Mahrez’s Leicester City days might be numbered already, but he hasn’t let that get to the excellent footballer in him. The 26-year old was his side’s best player against West Bromwich Albion, scoring a terrific solo goal to bring the Foxes on level terms, making it clear that he isn’t on a vacation in China.

Though he has two assists to his name in six appearances against Liverpool, the Algerian is yet to score against them. In what could be his last match for City, that may well change. One can just sense that he’ll depart with a bang.
