Mario explained his team to Sky Sports News, saying: In defence, I've picked Andy Robertson a couple of times already: very good full-back. Virgil van Dijk, we all know what he brings and Wes Morgan has been excellent since his new deal.

Patrick van Aanholt scored a crucial goal which nobody else could have scored, and at a crucial time too. Dwight McNeil is very exciting, he set up another one with a great delivery but got his goal too. Youri Tielemans, he's come into the Premier League and done really well, and I think Leicester will try to keep him.

Abdoulaye Doucoure - this guy, everyone is watching him and trying to get away from Watford because he is so good. The front three speak for themselves.
