We are at home...Fans rightly will expect a result.

If no major changes fair enough, as long as they start, and go through the game on the front foot.

 

  just for fun: 

 

        Schmeichel

   Amartey Maguire Drago

       Iborra         Chilwell

   Mahrez  Ndidi     Gray/James

        Slimani  Vardy

 

 

 

Here's my selection...

I wouldnt say no.. and your presentation alone gets plus points..

[SkidsFox]

If they had held onto to the struggling Koeman I'd be looking forward to crushing this side.

But he's gone, and we've seen so many times how a team plays better after the boss has gone..

Let's hope we get some early goals to kill this match. May have to invest in beer though for the inevitable nerves...

[mozartfox]

Wes for Fuchs and Vards for Slim looks promising

Expecting Gray to start, based on Instagram.

If we win by 2 goals, we'll have a neutral goal difference and could go as high as 11th....

Yes

[Hammo]

OK.

 

If we beat Everton we will be 11th .....unless Brighton and Southampton have an incredibly high-scoring draw - i.e. Brighton score three goals more than we do in winning by one goal (so 4-4 if we win 1-0, 5-5 and 2-1 etc), in which case we would be 12th on 'alphabetical order'! If we win by more than one goal (2-0, 3-1 etc) we will definitely be 11th.

 

if we draw, we go 14th.

 

if we lose, we drop to 16th (barring - ahem - a defeat by eight goals or more, in which case it'll be 17th!)

Maybe I'm being stupid and something has gone over my head but, if they draw their goal difference will be the same?

Yeah but our goals scored will be greater than Brighton's... barring that 4-4 etc scenario

[Old Fox]

Simple

 

schmeichel, Simpson, Fuchs, Maguire, Morgan, Albrighton, Mahrez, Iborra, Ndidi, Okazaki, Vardy 

 

I would not expect any changes from that based upon the Leeds game.

 

Only Dragovic and Nacho would have put pressure on any of the starters - Amartey was very good but won’t dislodge Simpson in a 4-4-2

[Ric Flair]

Looks like Gray is starting then, I wonder if there's an injury? Albrighton has been fairly poor this season but hoping Riyad hasn't picked up a knock as Albrighton is bomb proof usually.

Gray was getting a haircut with Riyad; they are going foot forward.

[Nigel Graham Pearson]

I hope Gray’s in for Abrighton. Good at what he does, but fvcking one dimensional.
