Stalemate at the King Power Stadium

Leicester City 0 - 0 Leeds Utd

Leicester and Leeds shared a dull and uninspiring 0-0 draw at the King Power Stadium this afternoon in front of the Sky cameras. Both teams cancelled each other out and there were very few clear cut opportunities for either team to break the deadlock. Drinkwater had a shot deflected wide in the first half and Wood struck the post with a low left-footed shot in the second period. That was as close as the hosts came. Matt Smith headed wide for the visitors late in the second half. Neither goalkeeper was forced into a save during the entire match.

Vardy and Nugent started the game upfront for City but service to them was poor. At the back, Whitbread returned to the side in place of the injured St. Ledger. New loan signing Ignasi Miguel watched the game from the sidelines - the Spaniard is a centre back by trade but can also play on the left-hand side. With Pearson persisting with a 3-5-2 formation that requires wing-backs, I suspect that Konchesky's days are numbered as first choice down the left hand side. Miquel, or the other new signing, Bakayogo, are bound to force their way into the team sooner or later. Many City fans had reservations about Konchesky as a full-back - he is certainly no wing-back.

A solid start to the season for City and reasons to be optimistic that City will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season.
