It seems to have become 'fashionable' to knock 442 because you rarely see it pre match on Sky but it remains a very effective lineup if you have the players to play it.
(A kick off time won't affect a formation though ��)
They didn't play 4-4-2. If anything it was 4-1-2-2-1. Kante played much deeper than Drinkwater in the midfield, and Albrighton played narrow on the left. Mahrez on the right was very advanced while Okazaki played deep off of Vardy who was up front on his own.
