However, Papy Mendy or Dennis Praet could come in for their counterparts. ‘Bouba’ and ‘KDH’ should be nailed on. Upfront, Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka have lost their starting places to ‘Seniorman’ Kelechi Iheanacho. As such, I believe the Nigerian striker will play alongside the Zambian forward as we desperately need goals, and a little bit of pace from Daka will be useful against a compact low block we are likely to be facing.

So, a narrow 4-4-2 probably switching to a 3-4-3 in periods of high possession with the Turk and Ghanaian defenders coming up alongside a strongly defensive Ndidi and others bombing forward to construct chances. We will also likely see ‘Madders’ moving out wide to support a wing-back and forward to create opportunities.

Next. Still chance Tielemans will sign new LCFC contract. dark

Rodgers’ King Power side will face a low block, and will need to be wary of set pieces and counter attacks. This is why a strong defender and solid midfield will be necessary: the only reason I would risk Maddison despite his crucial role in our league form.
