Ademola Lookman must be on the right. Yes, that’s not a position that the left-winger would be content with, but it’s the best we have got. Lookman was a surprising pick that turned heads. He was good at Fulham but became an outright utility in his second loan spell. In 28 games thus far, he has scored six times and assisted twice. He has played in positions to act as a stop-gap and has over-delivered at times.

Occasionally, filling in for Barnes wouldn’t hurt as Rodgers will fancy having options at his disposal, especially with a poor injury record as ourselves. There is no doubt that until we find the worthy right-winger, Lookman will do just fine.

Leicester City’s midfield control

The midfield needs three players. The first should possess an attacking threat and has a fine read of the game. The second needs to have a higher IQ to intercept and orchestrate plays. The third player should be sound and solid defensively. Three such players form the middle for the Foxes. It was hard to pick out the players, but considering our favorite Belgian – Youri Tielemans – will most probably leave at the end of this season, we went ahead with the triad of James Maddison, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Wilfred Ndidi.

Maddison has reignited his form and has emerged as one of the best English midfielders in the league. He has struggled a lot, in recent times, due to his reoccurring hip issues. It’s good to see him flourishing now. The AMF has added new intricate moves that make everything about him look simple- yet efficient. He has attributed to 12 goals and seven assists for his side.
