The biggest clash of the season for Leicester City, with third-place Leeds United coming to the King Power Stadium. Ahead of the game, it is worth looking at the danger-men for the Whites.

For the entire season to date, Leicester haven’t had to consider what opponents could threaten them with too much.

The Foxes have been far too good, which is epitomised by the fact they’re in discussions as being the best Championship side ever.

Players like Harry Winks, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall who pundit David Prutton adores are two of the division’s best players.

But in this Friday’s game, Leicester will face a side with equally as dangerous players. Here are the three big dangers to look out for against Leeds United.

Crysencio Summerville

Leeds United’s £15k-per-week forward Crysencio Summerville has been in expert form for the Whites this season.

Via SofaScore he has six goals and four assists in just nine Championship starts.

Down the left wing, he will be a massive threat to Ricardo Pereria who we hope starts at right-back.

Definitely a player Leicester need to focus on stopping.

Joel Piroe

Leicester’s failure to secure Piroe in the summer could come back to bite them in the ass, given Leeds won the transfer race for him.

One assist and five goals for Piroe this season show how dangerous he has been, but it is expected at some point he will improve even more.

We just hope Conor Coady and Jannick Vestergaard are in form and can prevent him from scoring against them on Friday.

Dan James

Former Manchester United man Dan James has been a revelation this season for Leeds.

Down the right wing, he is one Leicester needs to be wary of in order to avoid James from punishing them with his rapid pace.

He has been on fire, with three goals and four assists in the league for Leeds already which caps off an extremely dangerous trio that Leicester need to watch out for.
