Like everyone else, clutching at straws a bit, but trying not to make too many changes.  Usual formation and players that have played together?!

Might as well give Wasilewski a final game for us. Been a liability in his last few games but he's been here 4 seasons and has been a cracking signing overall.

With Morgan, Huth and Drinkwater all out I think we may even see a formation change, with 3-5-2 possibly considered. A formation change might be needed, to contain Manchester City. Not sure whether Shakespeare will prefer Amartey or King.

 

4-4-2

Schmeichel

Simpson Benalouane Fuchs Chilwell

Mahrez Ndidi King Albrighton

Okazaki Vardy

 

OR

 

3-5-2 - can also be seen as 3-4-1-2.

I shall be in the air heading towards Italy when this takes place. Sounds like it could be a good game to miss.

 

Surely Amartey or Ndidi in central defence rather than Was. Our goal difference is worth a placing or two as it stands. We don't want to destroy that advantage in one game.

This suggests bullshit on Barnes. 

 

- Players loaned to Football League clubs cannot be replaced, but can regain their spot on return to parent club.

 

- Clubs can supplement squad with unlimited number of players under the age of 21.

 

He's under 21 so doesn't count as per second line and he 'regains' his spot as described by first line. 

Yeah that's what I thought too. They're talking out their muck pipes.

Man City still needing a result for top 4, Leicester missing both first choice centre halves and now Drinkwater too. Can only see a comfortable loss sadly.

I'm still not entirely sure Fuchs will play either. Or at least I don't think he was supposed to until all these injuries kicked off!

Yes, that is what I would go for. Let's be a little more aggressive than at Arsenal. I hope Shakey is brave enough and not tempted by Amartey as an extra CM instead of Slimani and it being a defensive 3-5-2.

I thought Amartey was supposed to be a centre back and was named in the team of the tournament in that position. If that's the case why are we not playing him there.

AFCON...standard is pretty poor.

According to Sky - Shakespeare adds he may have to play a full-back at centre-back due to injuries.

Well that's given away our team selection then, we don't exactly have a lot of full backs lol
