Victor Kristiansen and Timothy Castagne will be the left and right midfielders. This allows them to join the attack while coming back to defend. I believe this best suits how they both like to play the game. As for our central midfielders, I switched it up a tad. Boubakary Soumaré remains in the midfield. He has been too impressive these last two games to get benched. However, I believe James Maddison is his counterpart instead of Youri Tielemans. The Belgian had a fantastic disallowed goal against Leeds. Outside of that goal that didn’t count, Tielemans has not done any positives since his return. I say let Leicester’s star run the midfield with Soumaré. They could create some beautiful work there.

Harvey Barnes and Tete will be selected to be the left and right forwards. This benefits their pace and shooting. Tete has received a lot of hate recently. I still see the potential and he’s had great set-piece work. As for the main man up top, Smith will go for the inform Jamie Vardy. Kelechi Iheanacho will likely miss the rest of the season with a groin injury. So it is time for someone to step up. Vardy stepped up for us against Leeds, so trust should be with the Leicester City legend.
