This weeks analysis comes from the game between Crystal Palace and Leicester City at Selhurst Park with the focus on Caglar Soyuncu.

When Harry Maguire departed for Manchester United Leicester City fans were concerned Brendan Rodgers had not signed a replacement. They need not have worried as Soyuncu has been one of the best defenders in the league.

The Turkish international has flourished this season both in his attacking and defensive duties.

Key features:

• Good positioning in and out of possession

• Knows when to go to ground vs stay on feet

• Strong in the tackle and speed to track runners

• Aerially wins a lot of ball

• Plays forward as much as possible

• Ability to break lines with the ball

• Big threat from attacking set pieces

• Excellent communication skills

Soyuncu is going from strength to strength and together with Jonny Evans are both proving to be one of the best center back pairings in the league.

Outstanding management from Brendan Rodgers putting faith is Soruncu and not panicking when Maguire left for Old Trafford. Soyuncu is a key component in a Leicester side who are proving to be top 6 contenders this year.

One thing is certain, the Turkish center back Soyuncu has proven already to be a fan favourite at the King Power.
