Leicester groundsman reintroduces famous pitch pattern for Carabao Cup tie vs Leeds after Premier League ban

Leicester City groundsman John Ledwidge displayed his grass-cutting talents in all its glory at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening, letting loose ahead of their Carabao Cup tie against Leeds United.

Ledwidge grew a reputation for artistic patterns on the Foxes' pitch, but was told to revert back to standard stripes after the Premier League put a stop to any elaborate designs ahead of the 2017-18 campaign.

But it appears the ruling does not extend to cup competitions, allowing Ledwidge to rediscover his ability to recreate something a bit more exciting for the fourth round match.
