You’d be hard pushed to find a player in better form than Pereira at the moment – the Leicester star has registered a Whoscored rating above 8 out of 10 in four of his last seven Foxes games, mustering up an 8.43 rating against Watford.

The 26 year-old completed 86% of his passes, registered five dribbles, one key pass, three tackles and two interceptions, per Whoscored.

The former Porto man arrived at the King Power stadium in the summer of 2018, and it’s not hard to see why he’s become such a popular figure at the club, as fans swooned over his post-match message on Twitter.

Pereira revealed his excitement with the club’s winning run shortly after the Foxes brushed the Hornets aside on Wednesday.
