The latest Leicester City news as Patson Daka reflects on his pre-season so far after scoring for the third game in a row in the 3-1 win at Derby County.
“We’ll be watching and supporting them, I saw Vardy has already scored, which is really really great.” Daka’s first season at City saw him mainly played as a loan striker stepping in for the injured Jamie Vardy for parts of last season. “It’s about adjustments, you have to adjust to the way the team wants you,” he said.

Interim Manager Liam Rosenior has named Derby County's line-up for this afternoon's pre-season friendly against Premier League side Leicester City at Pride ...
Substitutes: Wright, Odunze (GK), Choudhury, Mendy, Marcal-Madivadua, Flynn, Maswanhise, Alves. Leicester City: Stolarczyk (GK), Soyuncu, Tielemans (C), Iheanacho, Amartey, Vestergaard, Ndidi, Praet, Castagne, Daka, Thomas. Derby County: Wildsmith (GK), Knight, Davies (C), Chester, Roberts, Smith, Bird, Hourihane, Barkhuizen, Mendez-Laing, Collins.
The Rams were eventually beaten 3-1 by a strong Leicester City side in Saturday's pre-season friendly at Pride Park.
Scored a terrific goal as he used the pace of Hourinhane's cross to find the bottom corner. Nathaniel Mendez-Laing: Didn't get much of a chance to run at the Leicester full-back Luke Daniels, but put in a shift. Conor Hourihane: Played in a much more advanced role and another player who makes the game look a doddle. Makes the game look easy at times and that's the hallmark of a very good player. Curtis Davies: The captain had a fine game again. Joe Wildsmith: Kicking was a touch erratic and that's an area of his game that can definitely be improved.
The latest Leicester City news as the starting line up for the first match of today's double-header has been named.
Youri Tielemans captained the first half side against Hull City in the 4-0 win on Wednesday night, and he again has the captain’s armband in the East Midlands clash. Alongside Tielemand is Wildred Ndidi who plays his first game for a few months after recovering from an ankle injury. City have a double header today and the squad has been split.
Today was an unlikely afternoon that saw Leicester City participate in a doubleheader around the East Midlands. A separate team traveled to Pride Park.
Leading Leicester’s lines of attack was the partnership of Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka. The Belgian proportion of Dennis Praet, Timothy Castagne, and Youri Tielemans dominated the middle ground in a strong capacity. The side that faced League One’s Derby looked like Leicester City’s Team B, compared to the side that plays Championship’s Preston.

Vestergaard does well to get his head on a cross into the box, but it finds its way to Nathaniel Mendez-Laing at the back post. Ledson flies in on Maddison and the City number 10 is not happy. It's a short corner from Maddison and Justin has snook in behind to get a shot away. Barnes crosses and Justin has galloped forward into the box. The winger then kept feinting to dribble inside before shooting. The midfielder gets on the end of a ball from Castagne on the right, but his shot is blocked. And there are more chances at both ends. The full-back gets a flick on the ball, but it's a tame effort and Woodman saves. Chance gone, when it really should have been 3-1. Barnes sprints past the Preston defence to get to the byline and he cuts it back to an unmarked Vardy in the six-yard box, but he can't sort his feet out and he miscontrols the ball. You can follow updates from both games below. Maddison finds Barnes in loads of space inside the box on the left and he takes his time over a shot, delicately placing the ball against the post.
