Since assuming his role as Leicester boss, Gary Rowett has made plenty of positive changes. Despite picking up only two points, the performances have been much better, with the Foxes unlucky not to have picked up a first win of the month. In terms of the Middlesbrough game, defensively, City were more organised, and perhaps should have got a clean sheet if not for another mistake. It’s clear Rowett is making a difference, but will it be enough to remain in the division? Next up is a big game at the King Power Stadium, so here is the Leicester Predicted Lineup as they take on Norwich City.<\/p>\n
In Rowett’s second game in charge, a fairly similar starting eleven took to the hallowed turf. Asmir Begovic continued his run of games in between the sticks, as out-of-form Jakub Stolarczyk remains on the bench. With many defenders out with injury, Rowett was only left with Caleb Okoli and Ben Nelson at centre-back. Both players had their own bright moments throughout the game, with Okoli netting in the opener. At full-back, Luke Thomas and Ricardo Pereira started, as Victor Kristiansen fell out due to injury.<\/p>\n
As for midfield, Harry Winks once again partnered fellow Spurs academy graduate Oliver Skipp. Whilst the duo have put together a decent run of games, Jordan James’ return is likely to skew everything. Just ahead of them was Divine Mukasa. The teenager has been a revelation since arriving on deadline day, with him already tallying five goal contributions.<\/p>\n

The Jamaican international replaced Jeremy Monga, as the competition for places continues to soar. Meanwhile off the left, Stephy Mavididi’s goal drought continued. It’s now been almost three months since the 27-year-old last scored in league action. In contrast, Patson Daka is picking up form lately with his energy and pace, offering something different to Jordan Ayew. Whilst he isn’t scoring goals, his work outside of it hasn’t gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n Throughout Rowett’s first two games in the hot seat, Leicester look much more competitive. Mukasa is excelling, as he has the confidence and technical ability to be the difference maker. It was his assist that led to Okoli’s opener against Boro, and a few days earlier in Stoke, he was a clear standout. The midfield partnership of Skipp and Winks is also working well, with both players complementing each other. To pick up a point away at the Riverside is huge, especially when considering Boro boasts the third-best home record all season.<\/p>\nLeicester City\u2019s Recent Form And Tactics<\/h3>\n
