Think of it this way....if Liverpool overhaul our one point lead and better goal difference in their two games versus our two games then they deserve it.

City Liverpool and Barca are clearly the best three teams in the World right now so losing out to one of them will hurt but it’s not like they will have got lucky.

More than a fear of losing I’ll be more gutted that we missed the chance to watch the scouse fans collapse and mourn. We wouldn’t need to gloat just get the popcorn out.

Enjoy it. Support them team. What will be will be. Come on City Newcastle and Wolves!

The most difficult of our remaining fixtures, I have concerns about Vardy's pace. So for me:
Stones and Laport to play centre half- maybe with Kompany as well if 3 at the back. But Kompany has lost some pace so he shouldn't play if only 2 centre halves. Then there's Madison's "I've been shot by a sniper" play acting. It only takes one poor refereeing decision to put real pressure on us. Mike Dean as ref worries me a bit on this point.
Up front we have to take our chances. 1 goal in 8+ attempts during the run in isnt good enough. It needs to get back to 1 in 5 to properly dispatch Leicester. That said this stat is probably due to our mean defensive plan that minimises the number of chances our opponents get.

City’s most difficult fixture, according to City fans, is always the next one!

Chances of City winning at home to Leicester is 88% and Brighton away is 80%

Changes of Liverpool winning away at Newcastle is 75% and home to Wolves is 81%

Being at home makes a difference.

But forget the stats as you will drive yourself mad and they aren’t a guarantee of anything. A lot can happen in 4 matches and probably will.

The only way fans can realistically help is to not transmit nerves and keep positive.

5-0 wasn't it? Think that was when Shakespeare was a dead man walking though.

It was Puel in charge in this fixture last year.

No, Vardy scored before half time. 5-1.

De Bruyne set up three of them. One inside the first minute.

And Aguero scored 4.

Schmeichel had a very bad day at the office in this fixture last year. A repeat would be very nice indeed.
 
Winslow blue and Karen please fight it out amongst yourselves then let me know who won. Will then.arrange to get it to the winner

I know they were down to ten, but the flooding forward seemed to suit Leicester. In their title season, we battered 'em but got suckered on the break.

It’s a fascinating game, Leicester have improved quite a bit under Rodgers, and I’m intrigued at how he will approach this, he will either go all out with the quick wingers and full backs in Barnes, Gray, Chilwell and Ricardo or be more conservative in throwing Albrighton and Choudhury in replacement of Barnes and Gray.

Rodgers doesn’t want Europa football, as he’s already stated that our team being so young won’t adapt well enough, so I’m thinking he will be trying to contain you, which would be more in your favour.

Just a few points in the Arsenal game we had 81% possession before the sending off albeit against an awful Arsenal side who looked like they was on the beach, that was the worst performance I’ve ever seen from them in my life time and unless they strengthen big time I could easily see them falling out of the top 6.

Also In our title winning year, you stated that you battered us, if you was referring to the game at your gaff, I was there that day, and must of been watching a different game, as you really didn’t threaten us until the last 10 minutes.

Anyway good luck in your title bid, can’t see you losing it now as the momentum is with you.

Leicester at home that season was one of 3 games where before hand I knew we would not and could not win. The way we 'set up' that season was perfect for Leicester i.e too old, too slow and too open.
 
For anyone worried about this game, watch the West Ham v Leicester recently, West Ham could of scored 5 and had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside, the Leicester defence was all over the place. I'm only saying this because West Ham have a similar large pitch to ours.

To be fair highlights only show you so much, I was at the game and it was a tale of 2 halves, the first we was shocking, no intensity and the lack of pressing was hardly there.

Second half we was a different team, we took control of the game and when Vardy equalised there looked only to be one winner and that was us, we was going all out for the second and as often the case we was caught on the counter after a mistake by Maddison in a good area, yes they should of had another but the game then was all end to end.
