Huddersfield will be wary of Anthony Knockaert today – and with very good reason.
The Frenchman scored FOUR goals against them for Leicester City in the two league meetings of 2012-13.
And all four of them were crackers.
He sent in a swirling shot from at least 30 yards and added an outrageous back heel flick over his own head as the Foxes won 2-0 away from home.
His manager Nigel Pearson said: “The second one was superb improvisation but you need ability to do that. He is certainly a potential match winner for us but he is still a young player."

Leicester added a 6-1 success at the King Power Stadium.


Knockaert produced a crisp left-foot finish and then brilliantly cut inside two defenders before directing a delicious curler just inside the far post.
The goals can be enjoyed again on this YouTube clip, showing the strikes in the away game first and then those back at the KP.
Albion and Huddersfield have drawn their last five meetings and the two most recent games at the Amex both ended goalless.
