Leicester (A) - Sat 11 Sep 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Doing a pub crawl mate?

That's the plan mate! Never done Leicester away day though so I'm a bit in the dark! The Salmon looks a decent shout as it's run by a Blue and got big screens & food for the 12.30 game.

I had us for a good win here, but a dodgy third choice keeper, no Jesus (probably our most in form player), and the international break having a bigger impact for us than them has prompted me to change it to a loss.

Southgate did us no favours by grinding four of our players into the Polish dirt, while a good few of their team have had a rest and extra time to train in the sun.

Any result will be impressive with so much stacked against us.

Some of the self pity on here is astounding even by historical standards.
At this stage of the season many of our players are still undercooked and Stones and Sterling badly needed grinding into the Polish dirt.
Teams with less players away on international duty or who don't play midweek European games always have an advantage in terms of preparation over our lads but it usually amounts to nothing as surperior quality prevails.
The fact is we will have 11 fit players with the incentive to do well turning out tomorrow having every chance of winning the game, with at worse, an experienced professional in goal not Liam bloody Gallagher!!

Anybody know if any pubs showing match on hooky feed?

We're only 3 games into the season, tiredness shouldn't come into it.

Are you serious? After the Euros, most of our squad have had no break. Now they are expected to play three big matches in a week.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Let the home team have the ball and possession, keep our defensive shape and pick 'em off on the counter.

Give Brenton a dose of their own medicine.

 

[Manchester33]

Carson

Walker
Stones
Dias
Zinchenko

Fernandinho
Gundogan
Silva

Grealish
Torres
Mahrez

Should be good enough to beat Leicester.

That’s where we’re heading

Should be good enough to beat Leicester.

I’d start Rodri and Sterling on the right instead of Mahrez.
