Leeds United’s opponents Leicester City could spring a tactical surprise on Friday evening, if their recent setup against Sunderland is anything to go by.
The Foxes tweaked their approach for the Black Cats’ visit last month, a game in which the home side came out on top with a narrow one-nil victory. Right-back Ricardo Pereira swapped flanks, starting the game on the left as James Justin instead filled the Portuguese defender’s usual spot in the team.
When Sunderland visited the King Power Stadium, though, Pereira swapped wings, fulfilling the same function from the opposite flank, allowing Justin - a more defensively-focused presence - to combat Clarke’s one-v-one ability. This season, Leeds’ star man Crysencio Summerville has typically started from the left-wing in games, similar to the role Clarke carries out at the Stadium of Light.
