Leicester vs Leeds analysis: which team should win?

How Leicester City can win

Bielsa’s men are not a tough cookie to crack, nor are they a brick wall. Well, they can be a brick wall, just one with a lot of holes creating a swiss cheese style wall. Swiss cheese is perhaps also the best anecdote for how BR will seek to win here.

Although without Vardy, the Foxes can look forward to a performance and system designed to break down the defensive line, obliterate their cover from midfield, and stretch Leeds to create space all over the pitch. This will be the role of Rodger’s secondary main man – Perez. To drop deep and help Maddison construct space.

With space and a terrible defensive record on Leicester City’s side, a 2-1 win is written all over this contest. But be warned, the absence of arguably the best DM and the most predatory striker will be felt, as it was against Everton.

Mendy, Barnes, Under or Albrighton, and Fofana will need to disrupt ‘Bielsaball’s’ main benefit: the fluid transition from defence to attack. If this happens, then have no  doubt that Leeds will struggle to find quality opportunities, and the Foxes will hit them on the turnover (well, should). Come on you Foxes, let’s keep up the momentum!
