weller54 Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 Our first away win of the season.. 0-1...Ulloa 77min.
HighPeakFox Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 Cannot be bothered predicting a team - play positive and 4231 and I foresee good things...Albrighton on the right if he plays.
midland_red Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 I would play the same team as against West Ham and hope that success bread confidence. Prob a 1-1 draw thogh

Buzzell Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 Same side that played against West Ham, hoping everybody is fully fit.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 Been a while since I was this excited the night before a game...
char123 Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 FFS for the last time England U21s did NOT qualify for the ACON! they lost the playoff on penalties to Nigeria.they cant have done because musa plays for nigeria and hes not going is he [emoji23]Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
whoareyaaa Posted 1 January 2017 Posted 1 January 2017 Those two late goals at United will still be fresh in their mind, while our solid fought win against West Ham should spur us to go and get an early goal or two before controlling the game and seeing it out. Same team if all are fit I recon.
irishfoxkev Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Time to put a show on for Sky cameras after some abysmal ones so far this season...Don't get some of the negativity around here re this....yes it will be a competitive game but despite our at best indifferent campaign so far we are still 2 points and one place above Boro .....They are no better than us so 3-1 to the Foxes
foxes21 Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 wait are Mahrez, Slimani & Amartey available for this game?

Yeah the tournament doesn't start till the 14th and I can't see them leaving before tomorrow.... Jeff will be off too probably for Ghana? Hope N'Didi knows what he'll be walking into!
foxtillidrop Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 With less than 48 hours between the games, I reckon Claudio might make a few changes to freshen it up an reduce the risk of picking up injuries - guessing there are some tired legs after the battle on New Year's eve. Although Chilwell and Albrighton were stand out players vs West Ham, I can see them being rested with Fuchs and Shinji as replacements (Mahrez reverting to the wing).

Livid Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Saturday was good, we dug in and fought in the second half but I just can't feel upbeat about any game at the moment. Our form very nearly reads like win one, draw one, lose two.
Merging Cultures Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 I am not excited about games at the moment either. We seem to start well and then if either we are winning our we go behind we revert to 4-4-2 and defending deeply. I'd much rather we attacked throughout the match, taking the game to the opposition and hassling them, rather than damage limitation.

norwichfox Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 I'm hoping for a similar performance to Saturday with same team and formation, need to carry it on through 90 mins though. We looked good early on against both Everton and West Ham. I'd take a 1-1 here but obviously hoping for a win. We walk it if Mahrez can put a good shift in for us.
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Personally I'm concerned about Adama Traore today. He tore Utd's defence apart several times on Saturday. Not the best final product from what I've seen but his pace and direct style could cause our (worryingly slow at times) defence problems
davieG Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Leicester City will have their Ghanaian defender Daniel Amartey available today when they travel to face Middlesbrough in their English Premier League game after being cleared by the Ghana Football Association. According to FIFA laws, Leicester should have released the player 14 days to the start of the tournament in Gabon which fell on New Year’s Day.
Guest Col city fan Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 We cant do this thing today, whereby we play with real gusto for 30 mins and then start sitting back again. We did it against the spammers and it almost cost us. If we play on the front foot, lets stay on the front foot.
The People's Hero Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Keep Albrighton on the right. Don't give Negredo loads of space. Press and close down and pressure, don't play this stupid standing off game. Do all that and we'll be fine.
