Leicester City have been dominant in the Championship this season and look well-placed to make an instant return to the Premier League.
Enzo Maresca‘s side are six points clear at the summit of the table and possess a number of top-flight-level players.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is certainly one of those and is taking the second tier by storm, netting 10 goals whilst laying on 12 assists, as per Transfermarkt.
No player in the Championship has provided more assists than the Foxes playmaker, so it is no wonder Brighton and Hove Albion launched a bid for his services in January.
Dewsbury-Hall has emerged in an impressive stat chart along with two other Leicester players, including a rather surprising one.
Leicester City players dominate impressive stat chart
The Championship table-toppers have a plethora of talented players at their expense and in all honesty, many should be playing in the division above.
So it is no surprise to see them rank high in a number of statistics this term, with the latest being goal-creating actions per 90.
According to FBref, City have three players who rank in the top five of the aforementioned stat, along with Leeds United’s Georginio Rutter, Birmingham City’s Alex Pritchard and Hull City’s Jaden Philogene.
City’s talisman Dewsbury-Hall tops the chart with 0.89 goal-creating actions per game whilst Wilfred Ndidi, surprisingly, ranks third just behind Ruter.
Abdul Fatawu joins the list in fifth, joint with Philogene. The Ghanaian wide player has heavily impressed in his debut campaign with the East Midlanders and has been a real outlet on the right.
Fatawu is City’s second top assister this term with nine, so it is no surprise to see his name in the impressive stat chart.
Leicester City must put these chances away
It’s all well and good possessing a number of the division’s best playmakers but if the chances aren’t finished off, it’s a poor reflection on the forwards.
City in recent weeks have fallen to defeats to Middlesbrough and Leeds United and there was a common theme in each game.
They simply haven’t been clinical enough and their profligate nature is costing them. Even against Bournemouth on Tuesday, a game they won 1-0, Maresca’s team missed several big chances and were bailed out by a Fatawu wonder strike.
City play host to Championship strugglers Queens Park Rangers on Saturday at King Power Stadium and must finish their chances, which they will inevitably create.
