LB: Junior Firpo – 7/10
He worked his socks off when defending inside his half and was quite lively in the Leicester half.

Klich made a few important clearances and got stuck in with some crunching tackles at the centre of the park.
CM: Robin Koch – 6/10
The German midfield ace did his best to protect his backline but lacked quality in the final third.
RW: Raphinha – 6.5/10
Raphinha was always willing to have a strike at goal and deserves some credit for creating some decent chances in the final third.
CAM: Rodrigo – 6/10
The Spaniard had a few bright moments in the final third but didn’t do enough to register a goal.
LW: Jack Harrison – 8/10
Harrison caused all sorts of problems for the opposition with his creativity and dribbling. However, there was no goal for him today.
ST: Daniel James – 6/10
James wasted some decent chances to find the back of the net but orchestrated two promising chances up top.
Substitutes:
ST: Joe Gelhardt – 6/10
He offered very little in front of the opponent’s goal.
CM: Adam Forshaw – 6/10
Forshaw made one solid tackle.
ST: Tyler Roberts – 6/10
He struggled to get into the flow of the game.
