If Casadei can settle and Akgun and Praet can stay fit once they return, I think we'd be okay in that area if Wilf left. It's a pretty big 'if' at the moment, though, and Ndidi is a big miss at present.

Often excellent and threatening but the quality of his end product tailed off despite remaining a real danger one-on-one. Probably could've done with McAteer coming on for him for the final 15-20 really.

Proper battle this

His team play in the Copa Libertadores final tomorrow night at 8pm. Watchable on BBC iPlayer.

I like it.

I'm getting pumped for this already. Two teams who won't be scared of each other and who will be really motivated to make a statement win. Can't wait.

Enzo loves a winger doesn't he!

If we keep the manager I think we'll be fine. Recruitment has been exciting and we've been willing to spend in the Championship. Some higher earners may still leave but that also frees up wages for new players. We'll need to make signings no matter what, but when Maresca came in he immediately identified the keeper, CBs and midfielders he wanted to play his style. We'll have targets that are more suited to the Premier League, surely. For now, I'm enjoying the ride with fingers crossed that it continues and we do go up.

It was

Reminds me of a time when I used to frequent Birmingham New Street on a regular basis about 15 years ago. Every time, despite all the overt signage everywhere, somebody would ask me - or I'd overhear someone asking somebody else - "is this the train to Leicester?"

He was a top player for us and it's a shame his career turned out like it did. I don't blame him for leaving. He'll have backed himself to succeed at Chelsea, as so many who fail there do. He made mistakes but he is yet another example of how young men with money and time on their hands often need a good support network in place. Often, when your life is your work and your work is going terribly, that's when they need help, especially if they already have a reputation of being 'a complicated character' as Nigel Pearson put it. I don't know how much the PFA were involved with Drinkwater during his darkest times but he clearly needed someone or some people around him to guide him. There's a lot of talk about kids who drop out of academies and never make it in the game, and I believe the help they receive is improving (to what extent, I don't know). But pros who suddenly drop out in their mid-to-late twenties probably need more help too. It'll be more obvious and available to those whose careers are ended by injury, I imagine, but there are those in Drinkwater's predicament where they're bombed out of a team and cast onto the sidelines who will require some sort of mental and practical help to get their careers back on track, or to find their way post-retirement. Jadon Sancho is the biggest example I can think of right now who is probably having a miserable time. Yes, he's rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he'll currently be aimless, structureless and rejected, and therefore at real risk of slipping out of the game if he can't find the motivation to get back to his Borussia Dortmund best. The gambling, drugs, alcohol and behavioural problems will also become big risks then, too.

Really impressed with Choudhury's contribution to the first goal. Lovely intricate one-touch passing, but also baiting the press in the first place and pointing to where others should pass to. Then Mavididi for the second goal. Could've played the easy ball forward but shimmied inside and laid it off to Winks. A narrow win but moments of quality made the difference.

3-1 They'll come to play, maybe even take the lead. But we'll push and pick them off. Vardy, Dewsbury-Hall, McAteer the scorers.
