Leicester City welcome Stevenage to the King Power Stadium on Saturday with something that has been in desperately short supply over recent months: a little bit of optimism. Three wins in four league matches, ten goals scored and a convincing 3-0 victory over Wigan Athletic on Tuesday suggest Russell Martin might finally be getting a tune out of his players.

Pete Selby picks out his five things we'll be keeping an eye on this weekend.

1. The 3-4-3

For months, we have been crying out for something different. Less passing for the sake of passing, more attacking intent and, preferably, fewer opportunities for opposition forwards to wander through our defence unchallenged. Russell Martin's recent move towards a 3-4-3 system has brought encouraging signs. The wing-backs have greater freedom to attack, while the forwards can operate higher up the pitch and should be able to support Emil Riis more easily.
