Re family stand spare seats a few hours before KO and the fact they have my entire life history on computer it might be reasonable to let a empty seat be sold .They know more about me than I do.I get the general rule for sure

No, cup tied. Played for Burnley in it.

Prophet Sean is back:

 

 

He's normally on the money with team line-ups, despite the spelling skills of a 5 year old!

We looked really good with the 352 at Newcastle, Perez especially was super effective in his support striker role I thought. I think that system could also neutralise Grealish somewhat by giving us more protection when defending, as though we beat Villa 4-1, the game was very chaotic and felt a bit like a basketball game at times. 

Let's see what he goes with, but I'd be happy to see this lineup and system used.

Now sold out apart from hospitality. A few hours ago I'd resigned myself to the fact that we'll never need a ground expansion. Now we've sold out, I think we should go to 50k.

Phew. I was picturing the scenes of him cupping his ears to us just when he scored after a lot of criticism.

If true (probably is) Wilf being rested without Hamza or Mendy playing is interesting. Praet to play as DM then? 

Going to Arsenal tomorrow for £40m plus Xhaka :(

If he is itk ... and he is a City fan then why the fvck is he publicising our line-up to give Villa an extra couple of hours to prepare?

 

Personally I think it unlikely because it would be easy for BR to track down the leak and anyway I would be amazed if Wilf is not starting.

What no Wilf?   Surely not..   I reckon Wilf for Fuchs.

The one area where he HAS been reliable in the past is in leaked team selections...

That lineup raises Q's:

No Ndidi? Midfield is a bit lightweight without a DM 

If we are going 2 forwards then why not Nacho, Vardy - as has worked before 

3 at the back with no back ups on the bench (Morgan, Benkovic inj) is risky

He was for a couple, and then was completely wrong about one (usually, that means the club was trying to flush out a leaker; someone had a theory about who it might be, but I forget). Then he suddenly stopped having them. That was, and I am guessing here, beginning of last season? But don't worry, if he's wrong, it'll be that tweet that gets flushed! #NeverWrong means a lot of deleting...

Agreed, we always play with a defensive midfielder and I’d be amazed if we didn’t for this.

Biggest game of the season to date and for some the biggest game of their careers.

So far some of our players have not stood up to the pressure of big games, Liverpool at Home Man City and Man Utd away.

This is the night for them to show us they can really perfom in the biggest of games and for the fans to show they can lift the atmosphere back to the height of the Seville match.

Perhaps we are expecting Villa to park the bus in anticipation of the return leg and we can risk a more attacking line up with three CBs covering.

This is one of those games we’re expected to win. Which, as a Leicester fan you know we’ll F up. Villa supporting mate thinks we’ll be out of sight at the end of this leg. Hate games like this. 
 

 

Saying that. 4-0 Leicester, for me.

I hope we get to 60 minutes 3-0 up and bring on Marc Albrighton to score a couple more. I will always be grateful to Villa for letting him go.

But but no Ndidi... He has to play tonight for me.

I agree with you although IF that is the lineup we go with, Fuchs will i imagine be on the bench and able to step in should something eeew happen.

I'd be surprised if Wilf isn't playing, but I think Hamza would do a good job if not. Confidence is high as well now.
