Leicester City Players to Watch
There are three players who stand out within the team and are responsible for Leicester City's offense. The first is James Maddison (#10), he plays in the midfielder position and is in charge of distributing the attack. He is the team's top scorer with 9 goals in 19 games played in the 2022-2023 season. The next player is Kelechi Iheanacho (14), in 20 games played he has 5 assists which makes him the highest assister on the team. The striker seeks to stand out in the Premier League so we should keep an eye on him. Finally, the midfielder for Harvey Barnes (#7), is the second highest scorer on the team with 8 goals in 24 games played and we could see him score on Saturday.
Leicester City in the tournament
Leicester City started the 2022-2023 season very badly in the Premier League and they are at the bottom of the tournament. After 7 wins, 3 draws and 16 losses, they have 24 points, which places them in the sixteenth position of the general table. This year they seek to save themselves from relegation and stay in the first division of England. Leicester City's objective for this game is to be able to win and thus get a little further away from relegation, it will be a difficult game but not impossible to win. Their last game was on March 11 against Chelsea, Leicester City lost 3-1 at the King Power Stadium and thus they got their sixteenth defeat in the tournament. They arrive as the least favorites to win this game, however they could surprise and win.
Brentford Players to Watch
The next three players are considered key to Brentford's attacking attack and it is likely that any of them could score or assist in the game against Leicester City. The player Ivan Toney (#17) is a fundamental piece for the team for all that he contributes. He is the team's top scorer in the Premier League with 12 goals in 16 games played and he scored one goal last game against West Ham United. He is a player with a lot of experience and has faced AFC Bournemouth multiple times, so he will be key to be able to defeat them. Next up is Mathias Jensen (#8), he plays in the midfielder position, during the tournament he has achieved 4 assists which makes him the highest assister in the team. At just 27 years old, he has shown himself to be a player capable of starting and contributing a lot to the team. Lastly, Bryan Mbeumo (#19) the 23-year-old who plays as a midfielder. He is the second highest scorer on the team with 4 goals in 18 games and we could see him score on Saturday.
Brentford in the tournament
Brentford had a good start in the 2022-2023 Premier League season, they are in ninth position in the general table after 6 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses, together with 26 points. His goal this season is to be among the first 7 places to get a ticket to the Champions League or the Europa League. The team is very confident in their young talent and they could deliver a surprise in the 2022-2023 season. Their last game resulted in a win against West Ham United, they prevailed 2-0 at the London Stadium to claim their sixth win in the tournament. They arrive as favorites to win this game and stay with the victory because of the incredible team they have and the good moment they are going through. They have an advantage in Saturday's game by playing at home and having their fans support them.
