Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Filip Jorgensen – the keeper was back on the bench against Leicester which suggests the injury he suffered on international duty was relatively minor.

RB – Axel Disasi – the Frenchman isn’t always comfortable playing as a fullback but Maresca has few other options.

CB – Tosin Adarabioyo – the fact that Maresca chose to start two left-footed centre-backs at the King Power Stadium, rather than pick Tosin, does suggest he has fallen out of favour somewhat.

CB – Benoit Badiashile – put in a much-improved performance against the Foxes and he will be keen to build on that midweek.

LB – Renato Veiga – the Portuguese international continues to impress when afforded opportunities no matter where he is asked to play.
