Leicester City have got a lot of problems, and picking a left-back is definitely one of them for Claude Puel.

The Frenchman has had to constantly endure the headache of choosing between Christian Fuchs and Ben Chilwell, and while it’s a good problem to have, dropping one for the other generally leaves one side of the pitch either short of attacking prowess or defensive nous.

Ahead of a crucial fixture against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, Claude Puel has spoken up on his dilemma, appreciating the competition there is between the two players – and the team in general.

Talking of the two left-backs, he said:

"“They have different qualities. “Christian is an experienced player with good qualities, good feet. He is a technical player, who puts in good crosses. “Chilly is a young player without experience but with good attributes to take the space to join in attack also. “It is a good choice for me with good opportunities."

"“They are good options and it is good for a team to have different options. It is important to keep them both in good spirits with a good mentality because it is good competition. “I think the players need competition amongst themselves to give their best in training and win their place. I think it is great. “We have two opportunities in any position and it is interesting in this squad.”"
