Ruud van Nistelrooy knows a good player from another, and as we predicted for the West Ham game, Bilal El Khannouss and Facundo Bounanotte were both in the starting eleven. Bounanotte cannot play in this game, for the obvious reason, being on loan from the opponent.
Looking at the set up and how this could be solved, Will Alves is the natural player to call on. He brings more or less the same to the table as Bounanotte and El Khannouss. Giving him a chance in this game would really see the shape of what will be coming.
We do know that Will Alves is and around the first team. He was not very much involved under Steve Cooper, instead using other players and new recruits signed in the summer. This has unfairly put the England U.20 international in the shadows.
Will made his debut in the Leicester first team almost three years ago, coming on for Ademola Lookman in a 4-1 FA Cup win vs. Watford. He has since been through a very difficult period, being out for almost a season with a serious injury. Still only 19 years of age as we do believe he will be in the starting line-up tomorrow, being the ideal man to replace Facundo Bounanotte.

Will Alves is a talent not be ignored and hopefully Ruud van Nistelrooy will have guts to just bring this player on and give him what he deserves.
We believe we will see Ruud van Nistelrooy going for attitude and youth, as more young players will knock on the door. Hopefully the future shape of the squad makes it possible to honour young players.
