ONE TO WATCH: Ayoze Perez
Perez has enjoyed an impressive debut season at the King Power Stadium, having joined from Newcastle United for a reported £30million last summer.
The skilful Spanish attacker has hit seven goals in 26 top-flight appearances in 2019/20, helping Leicester compete for Champions League qualification.
An accomplished finisher with a strong work-ethic, Perez was been tipped by manager Brendan Rodgers for first senior Spain call-up before the season was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic
The 26-year-old has primarily played on the right flank for Leicester this term but is also comfortable operating from a central position.
