Watch Out For:
Daniel Izekor is joint fourth placed in the ESL scoring chart, and along with recent signing and ex-Bridge player Solomon Ofori, they have been hitting the net in recent games for The Foxes. IN the last six games, Daniel has 5 goals, and Solo has 4, so they are the dangermen. Stay alert, keep an eye on them both!
