Patson Daka's excellent performance on his first start for Leicester City on Saturday continues to receive recognition, as he has been named in the SkyBet Championship Team of the Week alongside three other Leicester players. The Zambian international was handed his first start of the campaign in Week 20 of the Championship at home against Plymouth. He repaid coach Enzo Maresca with a goal and an assist in a 4-0 win, helping to keep the Foxes top of the Championship table. Daka's performance hasn't gone unnoticed. He led the attack in the SkyBet Championship Team of the Week, supported by his Leicester City counterparts Stephy Mavididi and Abdul Fatawu who also had excellent games. Defender James Justin is another Leicester player to be named in the Team of the Week. Daka will be hoping to keep his place in the starting lineup on Wednesday when Leicester host 19th-ranked Millwall in a Week 21 fixture. Kick-off is set for 21:45hrs. Leicester have so far recorded 16 wins, drawn once, and lost three times from the opening 20 games. Ipswich Town are their closest rivals on the log with 48 points, just one point behind Leicester who are on 49 points. Leeds United are third with 41 points. Leicester will be hoping for another win on Wednesday as they are the favorites to keep all three points at home against a struggling Millwall side.
