This season's performance continues to be sluggish, last round of 0-0 draw at home, after 10 rounds of this season only 1 win, still ranked at the bottom of the list. At present, Leicester City is still the worst defense team in the Premier League, although the team's home field only 5 games only 5 goals conceded, the performance is significantly better than away. This year's results are also not ideal, after the last round of 0-1 defeat, the league has been 6 consecutive rounds of matches without a win. Especially on the road, Leeds United has 1 draw and 3 losses this season, and has yet to win.
However, Leicester City will be missing three key players for this match. Firstly, in the backline, star center back Evans is injured, while back-rower Ndidi has been out for 2 matches and will not be able to come back for a while. The team's attacking centerpiece, Maddison, is also suspended for this game due to yellow card accumulation. As we have mentioned many times before, this year, Leicester City because of the transfer of center back Fofana left the team, Seinju long term injury, in the center back position, the veteran Evans has been barely supporting, which indicates that Rodgers believes that Evans is still in the rank of Amartey and Fayth before, tonight will be the two "second tier" center backs partner, coupled with the two of them before The absence of Ndidi, the main force in charge of defense, will be a severe test for Leicester City's already unsound defense.
Then again, Maddison, the 25-year-old midfielder is the team's top scorer with five goals already this season, and the goals don't fully reflect Maddison's vital role in the team's offense. There are two options to deal with Maddison's absence, one is to start the mediocre attacking winger Perez, and the other is to start the veteran Vardy in a double striker partnership with Daka. The 35-year-old Vardy's form has declined significantly this season, and he has lost his starting position in the league so far, with Rodgers only starting Vardy and Daka together on one occasion, resulting in a 2-5 loss to the team.
For Leeds United's game, only left back Struyk is out with an injury, and Philpot, who has recovered from injury, will fill in, and there are no other positions in the team that are in jeopardy.
