Claude Puel to stick with the Wilfred Ndidi-Matty James combination?

Leicester City’s struggles in the midfield are not a distant memory, but the way the Foxes have improved in that region of the park, not even the vestiges of the midfield troubles would remain at this rate.

Whereas Claude Puel had a clear shortage of options to deploy in the middle not long back, he now faces a dilemma as to what conbination does he play? Does he go with Wilfred Ndidi and Matty James, who controlled the game against Chelsea, or does he go with the experienced campaigners in Vicente Iborra and Adrien Silva?

A number of combinations possible, it’ll be interesting to see who does Puel go with.
