#2 Can Leicester’s centre back duo still cope?
Robert Huth and Wes Morgan both had a phenomenal season last year. It was the apex of their career, and every sliding tackle and aerial clearance seemingly increased the aura of their immortality.
But 4 rounds into this season, and it’s already clear that this is a different scenario, and one they’re not going to be given any leeway.
The pair’s combined age is now 64, and without the work-rate of N’Golo Kante in front of them, their lack of pace could severely be exposed and they might struggle to keep clean sheets this year.
Claudio Ranieri has brought in the promising Luis Fernandez in from Sporting Gijon, and the Italian might be thinking of incorporating him into the team sooner than he would have liked.
