Leicester 2-0 Leeds: 3 things we learned

Whisper it quietly as well, but the set piece defending has massively improved and there seems far less anxiety in the team and the crowd when the opposition lines up a corner kick. Clearances are made with aggression and Danny Ward is consistently available to claim. Speaking of the Welsh keeper, he’s starting to show confidence and dare I say a bit of swagger. He made a very decent save that although given as offside was still a strong indicator of his improved reactions. His long kicks although seem erratic might be worth keeping an eye on. Twice he tried to go the opposite side to the way the teams traditionally shifted to one side of the pitch. Considering many wrote Danny Ward off as the worst Premier League keeper ever – unfair hyperbole in my opinion – he’s starting to show his worth.

All the above does come with a large caveat. All of these enhanced defensive displays have come at home. Away from the KP, we know the story is very different and the recent Bournemouth collapse highlighted this. Leicester has not conceded any less than 2 on the road so far this season and let in at least 4 on three occasions. Another clean sheet and victory would be just the tonic at a struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday. But don’t hold your breath, Leicester has managed only 3 clean sheets on the road since the start of last season at Burnley, Millwall & Stockport.
