Yaya Toure: Predominantly defensive performance versus Leicester

Toure attempted two shots, won six tackles and made three interceptions in Tuesday's goalless draw with Leicester.

Analysis:

The Ivorian powerhouse was limited to a predominantly defensive role versus counterattacking Leicester, leaving most of the offensive responsibilities to his teammates. Toure did smash one half volley from outside the box that appeared to be headed for the back of the net, but his attempt was blocked by the Foxes defense. He could see his role in the attack fluctuate based on the personnel City choose to deploy, but will remain an important member of the team. Next up is a Saturday clash with Watford.
