Daka starts for Leicester City as he chases a Premier League record

Zambia national team forward Patson Daka has been named in the Leicester City starting lineup ahead of this evenings English Premier league clash against West Ham.

Brendan Rogers has made four changes to the team that started the 2-0 loss at Anfield.

Ricardo Pereira, Harvey Barnes, Youri Tielemans, Çağlar Söyüncü come in for Marc Albrighton, Ademola Lookman, Boubakar Soumare and Luke Thomas

The former Redbull Salzburg striker will be supported in attack by James Madison and Harvey Barnes on the wings.

The Zambian international has been enjoying fine form with seven goal involvements in seven starts for Leicester City.

Daka could become only the seventh player in Premier League history to score in his first four home starts should he find the back of the net.

Daka has scored all his four Premier League games at home but he has only started the last three , Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton and Hove Albion making this start his fourth at home and could be a record breaking one for the Kafue native.

Kasper Schmeichel starts between the sticks as expected with James Justin, Ricardo Pereira, Daniel Amartey, and Çağlar Söyüncü making up the back four.

Wilfred Ndidi returns to his usual midfield role partnered by Kieran Drewsbury Hall and Youri Tielemans.
