Andrew Robertson, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold

No arguments with this line up. Gomez will come in for the injured Matip, who will miss another game following that injury he picked up against Sheffield.

That might not be a bad thing as Gomez possesses the pace which will allow the defense to press high and worry less about being beaten in behind by Jamie Vardy.

Robertson and Alexander-Arnold will play again, of course. They’re so vital to the whole team in defense and attack and they offer so much. Robbo scored against Salzburg while Trent picked up another assist, and the duo will trouble Leicester going forward.

Van Dijk had a rare off day on Wednesday but should be back to his former self on Saturday afternoon. He’s brilliant and you can’t see the Dutchman missing a game unless he picks up an injury.
