The next day, at Saint Mary’s Stadium, Leicester City put on their greatest performance of the year against Southampton. On September 20, at Carrow Road, Leicester City will try to keep up their winning ways against high-flying Norwich City. The anticipated starting lineup for the Midlands club is provided by Last Word on Football.
How Leicester City are expected to line up against Norwich City in the EFL Championship In a recent match against Southampton, manager Enzo Maresca changed up his lineup, and the result was a convincing 4-1 victory for his squad over a Saints team that did not live up to its reputation as a promotion prospect.
James Justin earned his first league start of the year after the Italian boss made a number of adjustments. The manager’s faith was also repaid by club legend Jamie Vardy, who scored the game’s opening goal in just 21 seconds.
Jaanik Vestergaard excelled in central defense against the Saints, and all departments demonstrated good standards. The team finally lived up to the manager’s and supporters’ high expectations thanks to its fluidity and crispness.
While Wilfred Ndidi continued his comeback, scoring another goal to tie for the Foxes’ season-high in goals, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall displayed flashes of his promise. Mavididi excelled in the attack, and Vardy shown why he shouldn’t be cast out just yet.
Recent Leicester City performance and strategy
The Midlands team is now one point behind Preston North End, who are still unbeaten after six league games, and holds onto the second automatic promotion spot. Maresca will demand high standards against a Norwich club that has a perfect home record so far this season after recording their finest performance of the year.
In order to add a player and provide an additional attacking option if necessary, the Italian manager has continued to ask Ricardo Pereira to play the floating ‘defender’ who slides into midfield when Leicester are on the attack. When attacking Southampton, Pereira saw a lot of the ball, which was successful.

He will face the dilemma of whether to bring back Wout Faes for another crucial game. Justin impressed and his performance will give the manager much food for thought. With a near-fit Conor Coady also now in contention, the defensive back line may be shuffled to ensure squad fitness is managed. Vardy, having almost played a full 90 minutes against the Saints may also be rested, with Kelechi Iheanacho once again asked to lead the front line.
Leicester City Injuries to Consider
Coady has returned to training following the international break and could be part of the squad. Midfielder Dennis Praet is set to miss approximately 10 weeks with a back injury. New signing Tom Cannon is injured with no idea of a timeframe for his return. There are no other injury concerns.
