The Foxes will have preparations underway for their next game, as they welcome Arsenal to the King Power Stadium for the Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Ruud van Nistelrooy will be looking to end their losing skid after a gut wrenching and controversial defeat to Manchester United last week.

In the FA Cup defeat to the Red Devils, Leicester put in one of their better performances under van Nistelrooy, with Bilal El Khannouss being a standout performer. The midfielder was singled out by Jermaine Beckford after the game, stating that he believes he has got “something special”.

Speaking to the When You’re Smiling Podcast, Beckford said: “El Khannouss was brilliant; I really enjoyed his performance. I like his arrogance – every time he got on the ball, he tried to make things happen and be forward-thinking.

“I want to see more from him, a bit more energy. Run a little bit harder and close players down. When you pick the ball up, be a bit more like Jordan Ayew; pick the ball up and be direct. I saw enough of him today to think that this kid could be something special.”
