Kick off 2pm.

 

Guessing some of the world cup players will play a part. 

Our biggest test so far given the recent friendlies but no doubt fitness will be the key thing.

Assuming Kasper, the Portuguese, the Nigerians and Shinji are available?

Okazaki apparently isn't back until next week

Just me or does it seem like we're not playing as many games this season?

 

2 weeks to go and we've only played 180 minutes.

I think 5 would be alright but we have about 40 people in the squad so nobody can get a couple games. Maybe there are still some unofficial games like the one vs Leuven.

Record numbers of our players involved in internationals probably playing a big part I guess. 

 

I'd question how much other than fitness you really get from playing little local teams like  Quorn, Shepshed or Forest anyway so maybe Puel is confident in his fitness training away from the pitch? It is his forte after all. 

 

I agree it's odd though.

World cup year, with half the squad away this summer what's the point? You usually play so many so that everyone gets loads of game time for fitness, but with them not being around and having trained and played through the summer, it's not as necessary.

On the competition for places among Puel’s squad, Stowell expressed his delight with how the Foxes are conducting themselves in their efforts to earn first team starting XI berths.

“We brought 31 players here,” he added. “It’s unheard of to go on a pre-season camp with 31 players.

“We will be trimming it down for the next few games, we have to, but it’s good to see them all together and there’s an edge now.

“There’s people on the sidelines chomping at the bit to get on – and we need that, we need healthy competition.”

A couple more behind closed door friendlies will be played. 

Let us know if we score so we know if we're getting relegated or not.

Shinji was not there on Wednesday, so doubt he will take part on Saturday.  The others mentioned should I suspect get some game time.

Haven’t seen shinji in any training pictures or players videos on Instagram etc. Has he got extended leave or is he injured anyone know?

Does anyone know what formation we’ve been playing so far? It’s looked like a 4231 on paper, but lots of people are saying it’s a 4321, like a Christmas tree shape?

Both matches we set up in a 4-2-3-1, with Gray starting as a false striker up front or rather in a more withdrawn role. Maddison CAM, Mendy and Choudhury behind him. Diabaté on the right, Elder on the left. Back four with Chilwell, Morgan, Evans, Amartey/Johnson.
