Leicester City (H) - Sun 26th Dec, 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Assuming availability

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo
Gundogan
Mahrez
Jesus
Kdb

Foden to remain on the naughty step, mahrez always has a good game against his former club, kdb false 9 jesus left.

I’d use a formation similar to what we did against Leeds:

Ederson
Walker Dias Laporte Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo Gundogan Grealish
De Bruyne Foden
​

• I love this system because it gives us the opportunity to see Foden and Grealish work together​
• Grealish is less shackled because he has a lot of space to roam as we saw in the first half against Leeds​
• We can also play KDB, Gundo and Bernardo together​

Isn’t Walker still on the naughty step?

1 of his best mates died, that's why he wasn't in the squad on sunday

Or is1! it the end of the beginning.:)

Oh yes!

I hope we smash these twats. Can't stand Rodgers or Leicester.
Can't see it going ahead unfortunately.

Must defend Rodgers. He gets hardly any transfer cash from Leicester's miserly owners. God knows what they do with the Premiership's annual £100 million + handout each season. In fact, what do most teams teams do with these handouts? Few spend it on new players. I also hope we smash Leicester but I can't see why people dislike Brendan. Now Arteta and his cold fish attitude towards opposing managers after each game warrants dislike ... Wenger must have taught him that.

On the contrary I think Covid is going to crash around this time. This is the beginning of the end of Covid.

god i hope youre right pal

 

[jimharri]

Hopefully, it goes ahead. We've got fantastic momentum right now; 8 wins on the trot in the PL, 24 goals scored and only 3 conceded (none conceded in the last 3). Hope we don't take Leicester lightly. Respect them, but don't fear them. Assuming Ferran is the only absentee...

Ederson

Walker
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo

Rodri

Sterling
Gundogan
KDB
Mahrez

Jesus

Can anyone see any reason why this doesnt go ahead?

Wont be any restrictions put in by then as confirmed by government.

The PL rules state that every team has to play basically

Leicester owners are pumping millions into the club brand new training facilities, Alot of work around the area in Leicester alomg with spending money on the like of Daka and Soumare, They done the same with Ranieri and won a league title and have established Leicester as a top 6 Premier League side...Rodgers has them going backwards in recent seasons especially this season.

I don't like any person that puts up a massive picture of themselves up in their office above there desk personally :)
