Will Alves’ Leicester City plan pays off as Russell Martin’s new secret weapon emerges

Leicester City manager Russell Martin's formation shift to a 3-4-2-1 setup is paying dividends, with Will Alves excelling in an adapted wing-back role. Alves opened the scoring after four minutes in Leicester's 4-0 away victory against Bromley at Hayes Lane, demonstrating attacking flair alongside improved defensive maturity with guidance from Warren O'Hora. Additionally, Steve Morison has emerged as a key figure after joining Martin's first-team coaching staff.

Josh Holland of Leicestershire Live highlights Morison's vocal leadership and energy as a major boost to squad togetherness during back-to-back wins over Bromley and Doncaster. Midfielder Sammy Braybrooke also starred in the victory, providing three assists in an advanced midfield role. The result extended Leicester's unbeaten start away from home in League One.
