Journalist reveals which Leicester stars are their ‘best hopes’ for survival after QPR clash, with one overlooked in the Premier League.

Leicester City’s recent matches have been filled with goals, and their FA Cup clash against QPR over the weekend was no exception.

Seeking their first win in six games across all competitions, Leicester fielded a strong starting lineup under Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The only notable absence from their best eleven was Wout Faes. Unsurprisingly, the Foxes took an early lead through James Justin.

Despite the promising start, the match was far from straightforward for Leicester, with Harry Winks delivering a particularly poor performance.

Nevertheless, the Foxes secured victory, thanks to standout displays from Bilal El Khannouss and Facundo Buonanotte.

El Khannouss played a key role, assisting Leicester’s second and third goals, including a high-quality pass to Buonanotte for the latter’s strike.

The duo combined effectively in the attacking third, contributing to three of Leicester’s goals against their Championship opponents.

Their impressive performances have sparked optimism about Leicester’s survival in the Premier League.

Journalist Rob Tanner weighed in on X/Twitter, stating, “El Khannouss and Buonanotte are LCFC’s greatest hopes of Premier League survival.”

While Buonanotte has been exceptional this season, his opportunities in the Premier League have dwindled.

However, his FA Cup display alongside El Khannouss highlights their potential to lead Leicester’s resurgence.

As the Foxes navigate the challenges of the season, the partnership between these two talented players could prove vital in turning their fortunes around.
