Leicester City (A) - Sat 29th Oct, 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

3-1 to City says Chris Sutton on BBC.
That'll be without Haaland, then.

Think Erling may start on the bench for this one, a knock from a bad tackle on Tuesday and a touch of flu will probably let Alvarez in for a start.
He hasn’t been great recently after a bright start but some weird formations haven’t helped him
If we get the ball to him in the right areas he can show what a great finisher he can be
Also expect Grealish to start this game and he v Maddison will likely be the commentators’ pre-arranged narrative throughout

Brendon says up turn in form is back to basics so park bus hit in the break and why wolves dominate them had loads of shots scored nought loads of blocks goalie saves and Leicester had four good breaks and scored four goals from four shots! Think the referee will be a big factor in this game in how he referees let’s hope he lets a lot go!

So we should park our bus and play them at their own game.

5-1 we will smash the fuck out of them

There's more chance of us getting our bus to Klanfield in one piece than that happening

Won 6 out of 6 last season playing in the 12.30 slot vs Arsenal x 2, Chelsea x 2, United and Wolves. Two of those matches were the Saturday after a champs league game.

Great Post as it highlights the sort of irrational nonsense some people trot out without really thinking. Now while it is not easy playing any game at 12.30 Sat after an away trip in Europe Wed in most circumstances this slot is no different from any other kickoff time. However, Haaland missing and recent patchy away form are valid reasons for feeling a tad uneasy about this one.

Tbf that Arsenal game at the Emirates was horrible and we deserved nothing from that Wolves game. Still won them, though! I wouldn't exactly scoff at an undeserved win tomorrow.

If Erling is not fit, give Alvarez a chance alongside Foden and Grealish. He has proved in the early part of the season eg against Forest he has an eye for a goal and hopefully he can get on the scoresheet tomorrow.

Debut in the league of the red and black kit do we think?
