Leicester v Leeds: match preview

Leicester v Leeds
Leicester v Leeds: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

Leicester will have to make do without key players Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi against Leeds. A tough ask to find the latter’s dynamism in midfield from elsewhere in the squad and Vardy showed how brilliant he could be against Leeds, laying on two goals and scoring another when they beat Marcelo Bielsa’s side earlier in the season. Bielsa’s side always create chances but their finishing varies between world-class and the unable-to-hit-a-barn-door variety. Shooting boots will be required to beat Kasper Schmeichel and get their own back. Graham Searles
