As any fan of the Premier League knows by now, there are few players in the world today better at set-pieces than Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez. Having bagged 2 goals in qualification and currently enduring a tough follow-up season with the Foxes after their title winning run with his club, there’s no doubt he’ll be eager to express and assert himself on this tournament.

In addition to weaving runs and ability to cross the ball with pinpoint accuracy, his free kicks are the stuff of dreams and could make the difference when taking on a stubborn defensive side such as Tunisia.
