Three things Premier League teams must do to beat Leicester City…

|

Draw them out

Robert Huth

Holding possession against Leicester, despite their disciplined approach, is a good way to expose the limited central defensive pairing of Wes Morgan and Robert Huth.

Alternatively, drawing the Leicester protective midfielders out and sitting deep can allow the opportunity to counter-attack and get the two creaking defenders on the turn. Their central defenders are as slow as their forwards are quick and that has to be an area to target.

Space behind the defence will not be awarded lightly, with Morgan and Huth resolutely sitting deep, even when they are piling on the pressure at the other end.

Simply, the best way to find the net against this Leicester side is to play them at their own game.
