The line-up was as we predicted, but to see Gray and Vardy as a partnership up front and moving Maddison out to the flank, gave me an idea of something that would not work well. You get two forwards moving as twins up front, both with the same runs. First half was dull, but Leicester…

The Carabao Cup is a great opportunity for fringe players and Claude Puel gave a number of them a chance against Southampton.

Brighton 1, Leicester 1, positives and negatives, player ratings and match report
As we predicted in the preview this game was no walk in the park, and we also warned about Glenn Murray who again became a difficult opponent for Leicester.

After a week like this, who are really bothering about football. The game away to Cardiff will be special for one reason only, but let’s hope that everyone has the energy to go out and perform the way Vichai would have liked. Claude Puel can be a bit proud after the game v. West Ham,…
