Player to watch – Gianluca Gaetano
Attacking midfielder Gianluca Gaetano has started just six times in Serie A this season, though four of those starts were earned since the start of February and the schemer has repaid manager Claudio Ranieri’s faith with two goals during that time.
Gaetano aiming to maintain purple patch
Gianluca Gaetano failed to make much of an impression in front of goal in each of Cagliari’s last two matches, though he notched in successive games before that and he should still have enough confidence to take a chance if it falls his way on Saturday.
