This is how Leicester City will line-up against Everton in the Premier League

Claude Puel has achieved three wins successively with his Leicester City squad, while regularly making changes to his starting line-up. Which is his best setup:

The Premier League returns for a full round of fixtures Saturday. This is before a two week international break, in which Leicester City’s growing crop of national stars hopefully shine again.

James Maddison is now among those senior England players. Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate rewarded his the 21-year-old’s exceptional form – creating more goalscoring opportunities so far in the Premier League than any other premiership man with 15. Along with the playmaker’s three goals and two assists.

Not to mention, the former Norwich starlet being nominated for September’s top-flight Player of the Month Award! Nevertheless, the Foxes cannot allow recent triumph and progression with Claude Puel‘s tactics and system to enable complacency.

The Toffees are always an intelligent tight unit; definitely dangerous and capable opponents. With Telegraph quoting: “Marco Silva [is] wary of Leicester’s ‘fantastic‘ Harry Maguire as Everton seek first away victory of the season.”

The amount of alterations is extremely high for the previous match at Newcastle United’s St. James’ Park, this is because it followed a traditionally rotational League Cup, or Carabao Cup, match. Leicester City beat Wolverhampton Wanderers in that one, via a penalty shootout.

In addition to Maddison‘s 15 facilitating passes; Ben Chilwell has nine, Kelechi Iheanacho contributes seven, Marc Albrighton produced five, Rachid Ghezzal also chips in with five, as well as Ricardo Pereira’s same score. Yet, two of these players do not make Foxes of Leicester’s beginning side prediction.

Speculated starting line-up

It is appropriate for the French boss to honour his 4-3-2-1 formation, why change a winning side? Despite this writer constantly requesting a 3-4-3 or similar, and championing Maddison’s more central No.10 role.

Anyway, following digression; the structure and format is working: with notably improved passing, intensity – from the start, at last – and a teamwork ethic, with an increasingly clinical nature. Here is the likely layout:

Kasper Schmeichel; Chilwell, Harry Maguire, Wes Morgan, Daniel Amartey; Wilfred Ndidi, Papy Mendy; Maddison, Iheanacho, Ricardo; Jamie Vardy. Encouraging, the Guardian shares our forecast.
