Kelechi Iheanacho– 8.5

After missing a easy chance in the first-half, Iheanacho made up for his mistake with a smart finish from Tielemans cross. Was again good on the ball, with his attacking runs and interplay with Tielemans. He was replaced after scoring and that could mean he will start against Arsenal.

Jamie Vardy– 7.5

This may seem harsh, given the striker scored two goals. But for anyone who watched the game, he continued to look out-of-form before tucking his first goal away. For his second goal, the old Vardy was back with his sprint off the last defender.

Ryan Bennett- 7

His first outing for Leicester put Bennett in Rodgers‘ plan with a very good performance. Bennett was unfazed about putting himself into challenges and showed his ability to on the ball. If Rodgers decides to utilise the same tactic, Bennett could feature again on Tuesday.

Dennis Praet- 6.5

The Belgium midfielder only featured for 25 minutes and, again, was positive on the ball. It would be a seven, but with the Foxes already ahead, the need for a more attacking performance was reserved.

Christian Fuchs- 6

Many Leicester City fans have been calling for Fuchs to start for a while now. His defensive ability hasn’t dropped since the 2015/16 days and showed excellent energy to run down the left hand side. If Chilwell is unavailable for Tuesday, Fuchs would be an excellent choice to start.

Harvey Barnes– 8

Came on in the 75th minute, Barnes set-up Vardy two minutes later after pressing the Palace defence in their own penalty area. Another great ball followed in injury-time for Vardy again, Barnes’ desire to run at the Palace defence had the potential to cause more damage.
