Key Players to Watch: Derby vs Leicester

Ebou Adams (Derby) He remains the heartbeat of Derby’s midfield. He leads their tackle stats and brings grit, energy, and defensive solidity to the middle. These qualities make him pivotal if Derby want to stifle Leicester’s attacking threats.

Ricardo Pereira (Leicester) Given Leicester’s tendency to attack from the flanks and push full backs forward, Pereira’s defensive discipline and forward support might influence how Leicester balance attack/defence.
