Thomas Tuchel’s men had a poor outing at Elland Road as they struggled to contain the high press of Leeds United, the German tactician will be out to prevent another lacklustre performance from his players this weekend.
On the other hand, Leicester City have only been able to pick up a point from their last three matches and they are currently placed nineteenth on the league table. Manager Brendan Rodgers had to drop key players Wesley Fofana and Youri Tielemans from the starting lineup against Southampton due to uncertainty on their future with the club.
