Leicester City are through to the fifth round of this season’s FA Cup having beaten Championship side Brentford at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon.
Both sides made a number of changes with the Foxes’ seemingly prioritising their Carabao Cup semi-final against Aston Villa. Brentford took a similar stance as they clearly had an eye on their midweek game against Nottingham Forest as they aim to secure promotion to the Premier League.
Should Dennis Praet be a regular starter in the Premier League?
Yes
No
Kelechi Iheanacho’s early goal proved to be the decisive one and despite a valiant effort, there was no way back for Thomas Frank’s side.
Dennis Praet has only started 33% of Leicester’s Premier League fixtures this season but the Belgian certainly had a positive impact on this one. His defence-splitting pass put James Justin in behind and he was able to pick out Iheanacho who finished expertly.
Here’s how the fans reacted to the 25-year-old’s contribution.
Praet deserves ballon d’or just for that pass

And the pass from Praet was quality and a superb assist from JJ !!

What do we think?
Praet may not have had as many opportunities as he would have liked since arriving at the King Power Stadium but whenever given the opportunity he’s given an extremely good account of himself.
The more the former Sampdoria midfielder performs, the tougher it is for Brendan Rodgers to leave him out of the side. However, it’s that fierce competition for places that has seen the Foxes take their game to a new level this season.
