BREAKING NEWS; Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca To Hand Over £25m DEAL
Leicester City travel to Lancashire on Monday to face Preston North End at Deepdale.
It’s been a joyous few days at Seagrave after Leeds United’s defeat to Queens Park Rangers confirmed City’s promotion back to the Premier League.
Players were pictured at Enzo Maresca‘s house celebrating the achievement but they must remain level-headed ahead of Monday’s clash, which could see them wrap up the title.
A win for The Foxes would be sufficient to seal the trophy, so they’ll no doubt be laser-focused even with their main ambition already fulfilled.
Leicester City don’t want a repeat of the Brighton game
Cast your minds back to April 2014.
Leicester had just wrapped up promotion to the Premier League under the stewardship of Nigel Pearson and their next game was a home clash against Brighton and Hove Albion.
Leading up to it, The Foxes were in party mode and that was pretty evident by their performance on the pitch.
Brighton rocked up to King Power Stadium and put four past City, with Leonardo Ulloa netting a brace against the club he’d eventually join that summer.
So with that said, Leicester must learn from their previous experience and not allow North End to catch them off guard, particularly with the title still to play for
Since Leicester signed Kelechi Iheanacho from Manchester City in a £25m deal in 2017, he’s been hit and miss but largely adored by City fans.
Iheanacho started the season off in fine form but has found himself out of the picture since December, for whatever season, which sums up his career in the East Midlands.
The Nigeria international hasn’t started a game since the beginning of December but should be handed an opportunity here as Jamie Vardy needs a rest having played in the last three games.
Further, it could be his penultimate game in a Leicester shirt with his contract set to expire at the end of June.
Iheanacho deserves a chance having impressed in limited cameos this year, so perhaps he could come into the line-up with other fringe players such as Conor Coady and Dennis Praet.
