James Justin- 8

This lad just keeps on getting better and better. To think fans were unsure about the quality of former Luton player last season, but his confidence has escalated beyond anyone’s expectations.

Lung-busting runs, cute 1-2’s and good recovery runs are normal for the England Under 21 international, but the finish took everyone by surprise. WHAT A GOAL! It was like Philippe Coutinho was on the pitch. You can not drop this man.

Wilfred Ndidi- 7

Was every blade of grass covered? Silly question. The Nigerian was everywhere and ensured the players in front of him could win the game. Ndidi in the side is crucial to the Foxes ambitions for this season.

Youri Tielemans- 9 MOTM

I was loving the commentary on the red button. The endless praise for the 23 Year Old was music to any Foxes fans ear. Whilst the first was pedestrian by his standards, the second period was where he showed his class. Defence splitting passes, endless energy and some lovely runs ensured that Leicester City were in the hat for the fourth and fifth rounds of the cup. Tielemans is now playing better football than he was when he first joined the blues on loan.

Dennis Praet- 6

A standard Praet performance. Periods of anonymity and periods of quality. At his best, the Belgian is devastatingly good. His combinations on the right-hand side with Castagne and Albrighton were brilliant. However, it was tainted with his injury at the end, hopefully it’s not too bad.
