Leicester City boss Dean Smith has been praised over his selection for last night's 0-0 draw at Newcastle.

Smith had Harvey Barnes and James Maddison start on the bench for.

TalkSport's Jason Cundy said this morning: "I don't know how you can criticise what he's done there. He's taken over a side and got a first clean-sheet since the World Cup.

I think it is brave to go there and not play Maddison, not play Barnes - two of your most attacking players - and have the mindset of getting to half-time at 0-0, then try to be a little bit more adventurous.

They rode their luck. But you are going to have to ride your luck sometimes - look at Everton with their 99th minute equaliser away at Wolves."

To stay up, Leicester need to beat West Ham this weekend and hope Everton fail to defeat Bournemouth.
