any news if vardy will be injured?
might have a chance if hes not playing

Apparently Steptoe has a good chance of starting tomorrow.

You know the rest....

Just don’t know what we will get tomorrow could easily lose but again we could win,I’m hoping for a similar score line what Leicester got at the Etihad,was it 3 pens when they beat us a few years back think Oliver the wee cnut was ref ..

Title race

Need midfielders who run or at least appear busy on and off the ball. McAtee should be given a go IMO, cant do any worse and at least he should be completely motivated and eager.

1-3

Another loss incoming...nothing changes unless Pep does something drastic and I'm not sure he can at the moment

To win this we need a big slice of luck

Given that this year's away kit is a tribute to that 1998-99 kit, I'm hoping this will be our Wrexham, and West Ham our Stoke City. I'd take a scrappy 1-0 followed by a somewhat unlikely late comeback that restores a sense of battling optimism in players and fans alike.

Maybe it's destiny that the whole season is a tribute to 98-99? Other parallels: a largely bright, if not totally convincing, start followed by a horrible, unsettling autumn/early winter characterised by some pretty drab football.

Hopefully, as then, we'll benefit from a no-nonsense new arrival. And maybe end the season with a tense win at Wembley?

(NB: I'm obviously not seriously comparing the quality of players or state of the club then and now. I think what I am doing is known as clutching at straws.)

We'll have a better chance if we nip to B&Q and board the goals up before Leicester come out of their dressing room!

Tbf we have not had much luck recently especially in terms of injuries. As for tomorrow it could go either way, I thought especially in the 1st half against Everton we played well and if Bernardo had taken that chance we would have gone onto win. Obviously there are the usual concerns of how we handle the transitions.

First time I can recall predicting we would lose. From what I’ve seen of Leicester they break with pace and have tightened up a bit at the back. I honestly don’t see where our next win is coming from.

You waited a long time to predict a loss considering the last 3 months
