This stat shows Brendan Rodgers is an ingenious tactician: Leicester

There is one particular area of stats where Leicester City lead the Premier League in 2019/20 so far. Brendan Rodgers is undoubtedly the reason in this case.

At present Leicester City are third in the Premier League table, behind Liverpool in first. The Foxes are joint second on points with Manchester City, though the Citizens have a better goal difference by two. Though at the time of writing, the East Midlands side have one game in hand.

Watford travel to Leicestershire Wednesday night to play at King Power Stadium. They currently sit in 20th position – rock bottom. Therefore Leicester will be confident of three points. But as we all know, they aren’t yet good enough to be complacent.

In fact, the Hornets have won two of the last five top-flight meetings with their upcoming opponents. Although, they lost three of those previous encounters. Watford were defeated on three occasions in their last five outings overall, with a draw along with a win as well.

Brendan Rodgers: Ingenious tactician

Apart from the fact that Brendan Rodgers has engineered the Leicester starting XI into a better collective than the one which one the league three and a half years ago, he has also made improvements to individuals. To be completely honest, the superior Foxes look the part for a top-four finish at least.

Additionally there is statistical evidence, which backs the claims that master tactician Rodgers and his team are better than 2016’s “Incredibles”. Not to mention being three points better off at the comparable stage.

BBC Leicester Sport and Opta have published a stat which showed Leicester have made the most effective substitutions this campaign. Managing seven goal involvements from the bench; with subs netting twice and assisting five finishes. To have the most ruthless players joining a match at the business end is another tremendous aspect of an already outstanding team. Brighton & Hove Albion are below City in the chart with six overall.
