Three things we learnt from Leicester’s 3-1 win against Liverpool
Wilfred Ndidi could be N’golo Kante’s replacement
Leicester have missed Kante since the day he left to sign for Chelsea and the Foxes performances have never recovered to the level they were when the Frenchman ran their midfield. Ranieiri used the money from Kante’s transfer fee to bring in in the summer, but he has failed to impress thus far.
Mendy’s lack of impact forced Leicester to think again. They Wilfred Ndidi from Genk, yet the Nigerian began life similarly to the way Mendy did at Leicester. He failed to make an impact immediately, but against Liverpool, the 20-year-old put in a performance even Kante would have been proud of.
The Nigerian nine tackles and seven aerial duals while also having two shots and making one interception. After witnessing a perfect box-to-box midfield performance, the Leicester fans will be hoping he can continue this form as the Foxes look to avoid relegation.
