Leicester City Star Can Be The Difference Against Arsenal

Obinwannem News Leicester City Star Can Be The Difference Against Arsenal

In-form Youri Tielemans has evolved into an all-action midfield gem under manager Brendan Rodgers.

Excellent in possession, defensively sound, and capable of brilliance inside the final third, the Leicester City star will need to be watched closely by Arsenal at King Power Stadium this Saturday.  

If Albert Sambi Lokonga and Thomas Partey lose their positional strength, Tielemans is playing well enough to make the difference. 
The Belgium international is crucial to Leicester’s tactical make-up in almost every section

He created the most chances, completed the most passes in the opposition’s half, and won the most duels, while only top scorer Jamie Vardy has had more shots.
Furthermore, the 24-year-old also leads the Leicester rankings for blocks and tackles won.  

Tielemans is Leicester’s chief conductor when they have opposition territory as shown by his three goals and two assists already in 2021/22.

The Partey-Lokonga axis was very strong for Arsenal in their 3-1 win over Aston Villa last time out. Regardless, the Gunners’ central-midfield pairing will need to play even better to gain the upper hand against Tielemans and summer signing Boubakary Soumare in this match.  
Here’s how Youri Tielemans can be the difference 

  1. Great from an inside-right position 
    When the Foxes cut the ball back from advanced positions down their right-hand side, Tielemans is almost always on hand to offer support to his teammates 

He is gifted at finding space and boasts amazing precision with his right foot from the corner of the penalty area. 

He supplied a teasing cross for Vardy to score at Brighton & Hove Albion and followed that up by scoring with a beautiful finish from a similar position in their 4-2 home victory over Manchester United.  
It is a domain from which Tielemans’ right boot can be destructive.  

  1. Dynamic force
    Youri Tielemans is also extremely tricky when bursting through the center of the pitch from counter-attacks, turnovers, and transitions. 

With space to run into, he is one of the most dangerous goalscoring midfielders in Europe.  
He showcased that with a memorable long-range winning goal against Chelsea in last season’s FA Cup final, and his banging hit at Brentford last time out was another reminder of his shooting credentials
