Leicester City’s starting line-up vs Aston Villa has prompted a positive response from City fans, following the announcement of the team.

Brendan Rodgers has decided to start all three of the club’s January signings for the clash at Villa Park, with all three making their Premier League debuts. Victor Kristiansen comes in for Luke Thomas at left-back after impressing in a 20 minute cameo against Walsall.

Brazilian Tete becomes the first of his nationality to play for the club as he comes in at right wing, pushing James Maddison into his more natural central position. Deadline day signing Harry Souttar also makes his debut for the club, partnering Wout Faes in the centre of defence, with Daniel Amartey dropping out.
