Jannik Vestergaard - Continues in starting XI Vestergaard had five clearances and picked up his fifth yellow card in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Fulham.

Impact Vestergaard has been a constant in the XI for Ruud van Nistelrooy, though he still doesn't have a clean sheet on the season. It's been tough sledding for the Leicester center-backs and it's a wonder if Vestergaard will move out of the XI at some point given the group's struggles.
