The Leicester manager could axe any of his back four after their showing at Chelsea at the weekend, but I think he needs to go back to last season’s defence in a bid to shore up his leaky backline.

I haven’t been entirely convinced by Luis Hernandez since his move from Sporting Gijon in the summer and, if Danny Simpson is 100 per cent fit, he should replace the Spaniard in the side on Tuesday.

Leicester have been much better at home so far this season, but that doesn’t mean that the defence immediately becomes better – there are issues that need addressing, and I think a personnel change is needed to get the basics right.
