After being benched as an unused substitute in the previous game, Zambian striker Patson Daka could make a return to the Leicester City starting lineup for their match against Middlesbrough this Saturday. Daka has been in fine form, with seven goals in his 10 appearances this season, and may be chosen over other striking options like Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho.
While Leicester City is on a good run of form, manager Enzo Maresca may consider giving some players a rest. Ricardo Pereira, in particular, has played almost every minute this year and could be due for a break. With a tough game against Leeds on the horizon, it’s possible that Hamza Choudhury will be called upon to provide some midfield support.
Overall, Maresca may opt to stick with the lineup that secured a victory over Sheffield Wednesday, but tough decisions remain for the left-back position and in midfield. The predicted City lineup for the upcoming game is Hermansen; Choudhury, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin; Winks, Praet, Dewsbury-Hall; Fatawu, Daka, Mavididi.
