It is safe to say that 2015/16 PFA Player of the Year, Riyad Mahrez, has not had the season he was hoping for this time around. The Algerian winger along with Jamie Vardy and N’golo Kante were stars of the Leicester City team which incredibly won the Premier League, but this season, he has arguably been one of the main reasons why the Foxes have been dragged into a relegation battle.

Full of tricks, flicks and stepovers, Mahrez has not exhibited the confidence he showed last season and has struggled to have much of an impact in the Premier League and Champions League. Vardy and Mahrez’s bad form even led to the sacking of much-loved manager Claudio Ranieri.

However, in recent weeks, Mahrez has shown glimpses of getting back to top form and Leicester City will need him to up his game if they are to prevent getting relegated.
