We all love that feeling of seeing new faces coming into the first team especially when they are local and gone all the steps in the ladder inside the clubs own academy structure. Kasey McAteer is the latest of those players as he made his debut against Newcastle.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Harvey Barnes and Luke Thomas are all players from the academy making the starting line-up for this game and they are all in the same category as Kasey McAteer.

The Leicester legend in his last game for the club and the unlikely episode and appearance, No. 3 Gary Lineker

One of the all time icons of this football club is Gary Lineker. Local born and as much as possible letting people know he is from Leicester and a massive supporter of the club, with him scoring 95 goals in 194 league appearances from 1979 to 1985. Gary Lineker played his final game for the club v. Luton in May 1985, the result, 0-4, down at Kenilworth Road on their plastic turf.

This was in deep contrast to the game the week before defeating Sunderland 2-0 and with Gary scoring both goals in what should be his last home game at Filbert Street.

Everton and Liverpool destroying weekend for Leicester City and Riyad Mahrez

Leicester City faced an Everton side who had their heads right and came away with a 2-1 at King Power. Especially Brazilian duo Bernard and Richarlison gave Leicester enough trouble to upset a descent run of results lately.

A 2nd half goal from Iceland international Gulfi Sigurdsson made it possible for Everton to bring all points back to Merseyside.

The fact that Wes Morgan had to leave the field early in 2nd half made it difficult, despite a promising display by Leicester City during most periods of the game.

A day after Leicester’s defeat to Everton, Manchester City are playing Liverpool on Anfield, and a game looking like a 0-0 draw explodes into action when Leroy Sane is brought down by Virgil Van Dijk and a penalty is given.

Gabriel Jesus is the one chosen to take the penalty, but a message from Pep Guardiola changes that and Riyad Mahrez steps forward. He has missed five penalties in his last eight attempts so why he was the “chosen one” few understands.

Mahrez can’t convert and the ball goes straight up in the air, above the goal and into the stands, what a disgraceful penalty, badly taken and what could have been a great day for Man City bringing home their first win at Anfield under Guardiola ends in a 0-0 draw.

Not the best of weekends if you support Leicester City and have an eye for former players and how they are doing around in other clubs, this was not good at all.
