Dominic Calvert-Lewin is on a golden run of form.

Attack:

Left winger: Richarlison

Richarlison had an awkward game against Chelsea with the player not looking entirely himself after he had to rightfully walk away from the penalty spot. The Brazilian wanted to take the penalty but the duties lied with Sigurdsson. Richarlison also had a couple of chances in positions where he’s strong and converted on previous occasions but failed to put the ball past Edouard Mendy.

However, his overall game as always has been positive and will be a threat to the Leicester defence from the left flank.

Striker: Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Had James Rodriguez been available, Ancelotti may have thought about resting his other star performer Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The Foxes defence is vulnerable in absence of Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu. Wesley Fofana has risen and taken the responsibility but Calvert-Lewin’s quality can prove to be a little too much to handle for the Leicester defence at the end of the day. I’d expect DCL to put at least one goal past Kasper Schmeichel.

Right wing: Alex Iwobi

Alex Iwobi has reinvented himself after being deployed in a right wing back role. He has been influential while going forward and does enough defensive work to ease up the pressure. His crossing will remain a point of debate but what he brings to the table outperforms his weaknesses at the moment.
