Leeds United travel to Leicester City in the Championship on Friday night for one of the most eagerly-anticipated matches of the season so far and LeedsLive have got the inside line on the league leaders
Leeds United visit Leicester City on Friday night in one of the most eagerly-anticipated matches of the Championship season up to now. Daniel Farke will lock horns with Enzo Maresca, who has overseen an outstanding start to the campaign for the Foxes.
It helps when you win 13 of 14 games, of course. The money raised from the Maddison and Barnes sales has been invested pretty well it seems, particularly in the signings of Winks and Hermansen. So there is a clear belief in and enjoyment of Maresca's tactics and that's leading to the confidence being shown on the pitch. Maresca is extremely thorough in his analysis and in how he implements his tactics, Winks has said he is "on another level of coaching,” which means Leicester have routinely managed to find a way to negotiate the trickier games and not just win those ones where they dominate from start to finish.
Saying that, it was a surprise Kristiansen left, given he joined for £16m in January, but he was just a victim of Maresca's system, which doesn't really allow for traditional full-backs. The best thing Leicester did was do the deal for Maddison very quickly. What are your impressions of Enzo Maresca with nearly three months of the season done? He's been excellent. The Guardiola comparisons are not surprising and neither are they wide of the mark. There are plenty of similarities in their philosophies, their tactics and even the way they deal with the media.
How will Leicester look to beat Leeds on Friday? What's the system? Who are the key players? How do Leeds stop them? It's a 4-1-4-1 out of possession, but changes to a 3-2-4-1 in possession. Ricardo will be at right-back, but then move up alongside Winks when Leicester have the ball and that will see the forward-thinking midfielders and wingers pushing onto Leeds' back-line so they're attacking with five players.
