Sloppy in Possession

Leicester City are a disaster when in possession, something that we’ve seen a lot this season because of the weakest of weak midfields. The Foxes have had Andy King and Wilfred Ndidi guarding the back four for a majority of the season, and even with Vicente Iborra now fit, Ndidi’s presence remains a problem.

One of Leicester’s strengths is counter-attacking, and when you’re playing on the break, you have to ensure that you make the most of the ball, which the East Midlanders don’t.

If Claude Puel is to make his tenure last long, he must either teach his side the art of passing well, or else, the mistakes that cost Craig Shakespeare his job could cost him heavily too.
