Default Team News for Leicester

Maguire and Varane out injured, Fred and Cavani not available due to playing for their countries on Friday. Rashford available for selection.

Justin and Fofana still out for Leicester, as is Ndidi. Evans withdrew from internationals due to illness, but may be fit to play.

Expect the line up to be:

De Gea

AWB - Bailly - Lindelof - Shaw

The Scottish Player - Pogba

Greenwood - Bruno - Sancho

Ronaldo

They haven't won since beating Norwich at the end of August, so we really should be beating them even without the CBs.

£#%&! off watching Bailly trying to overhead clearances and break legs (probably his own). The Scottish Player won't be any worse than him at the back and he'd be able to make it to half time.

Ffs no Cavani!!!

It will be basically a mismatch of any eleven that’s available that doesn’t include vdb.

Got a feeling Ole will go with 2 defensive mids to protect the clowns at centre back.

De Gea

AWB --- Bailly --- Lindelof --- Shaw

McTom --- Matic --- Pogba

Bruno

Greenwood --- Ronaldo (c)

I like this team. bailly is, of course, a massive risk. but also capable of being sort of world class.

might go with The Scottish Player deeper and telles, though. "the safe option."

Is Jones available? Going to need him when Bailly gets injured 30 mins in.

Whatever the team, I’d like some consistency of picks for the midfield and attack. Need to see them playing together regularly. Especially the front four, which for me right now has to be Bruno, Ronaldo, Sancho and Greenwood.

No Fred?

We should piss it with the forwards we have - just need someone to pass it to them consistently & track some runners.

Only problem is the lack of width, but I think it's logical that we'll need to avoid a high defensive line when Tielemans can pop balls over the top for Vardy to chase, so makes sense to pack our midfield and let Lindelof and Bailly play deep.

If Maddison plays, then both him and Vardy will be a threat drifting into the pocket between our midfield and defence.

Pogba will be crucial in this system in linking midfield to attack, as will Greenwood with his ability to carry the ball towards the space Ronaldo will be.

Huge game. We need to score first.

Playing with no midfield and defence isn’t attacking. We’ve had plenty of forwards on the pitch in recent weeks, but it’s hard to get them into the game when you’re busy allowing the opposition to stroll through the heart of your team on a regular basis.

I’m not buying this Leicester poor form either. They’ll be well up for this and I just can’t see us getting anything with no defence and the form we’re in.
