TJB-fox Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 This game has a real danger of becoming another Villa/Norwich style result. First goal is vital. Id go Schmeichel Pereira Evans Soyuncu Chilwell Hamza Perez Praet Maddison Barnes Vardy Ward Fuchs Gray Iheanacho Tielemans Justin Albrighton
wardyfox86 Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 4141 please. Go back to what got us to 2nd in the 1st place. Let's get some swagger back, play to people's strengths. Kasper Ricky, Evans, Cags, Chilwell Hamza Perez, Praet, Maddison, Barnes Vardy Wouldn't be against Gray and Tielemans starting either.
Farrington fox Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 This lot won’t be the pushover they were during the famous win. Expect a tough game. One we could easily come a cropper in.

Will be a tricky encounter, if we can be clinical in front of goal we will win. Weirdly I don't think they'll sit back as much as Villa did. There was valid reason for Villa playing like they did given there's a 2nd leg. Southampton, being only 5 points above relegation, don't have that luxury unless they come here playing for a point. Perhaps they'll be defensive but not as ultra defensive as Villa were. Being so defensive essentially nullifies their in-form striker in Danny Ings.
jeffschlupp Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 These are on a good run, but that just means they're due a loss! Back to 4-3-3 for me: Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Chilwell Choudhury Praet Maddison Perez Vardy Gray Ward, Justin, Benkovic, Tielemans, Albrighton, Barnes, Iheanacho I'd be interested to see how Youri could affect the game off the bench - if he's fresher and there are some tired legs in an opposition midfield, will that suit his ability to seek out and play those defence-splitting balls? Southampton are back to that 4-4-2/4-2-2-2 that Hasenhuttl played at Leipzig, so they will likely have four pacey attacking players (take your pick from Ings, Adams, Djenepo, Redmond etc.) coming at us. That should give us a little bit more space to manouevre as long as we get the ball, and we should win a 3v2 in midfield.
KingsX Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 A few stats with implications for this rematch. This means Saints are out-pressing even ourselves and Liverpool, which (along with a settled back four) accounts for significant defensive improvement. We’ll need a more direct approach and adept ball handlers, which points toward the likes of Tielemans and Praet for me. Stopping Ings is the key, but easier said than done. Not sure how we could mark him without both Hamza and Wilf though. I don’t want Hamza and Mendy both starting against that press. Oh, by the way … (Iheanacho is not ranked, as Fbref only qualifies players who’ve played half their team’s minutes.) But think we should be getting the lad more minutes? FFS figure it out, Brendan! If Vardy scores a few less, but Leicester City score more overall, that's fine.
Foxxed Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 Only Liverpool have better form than Southampton. It won't be easy.

Dahnsouff Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 Anyone got any idea of the extent of Maddison’s injury? https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/james-maddison-injury-how-leicester-3722767

Guest Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 If we can't beat a relegation threatened team at King Power then we've no right to be challenging for a CL place. People calling for fuchs ahead of Chillerz are just crazy and should return to 2016. Kasper Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Chilwell Hamza Praet Maddison Perez Barnes Vardy Leicester 4 Saints 1 Vardy 3, Evans
SystonFox Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 0-2 to them. Both goals in the last 5 mins. Mass exodus and boos all around for a team sat 2nd in the league. entitled cockwombles
Dahnsouff Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 It’s almost as if being 2nd has made people forget how competitive this division is, like no-one has seen Man City’s struggles this seaso
NaijaFox Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 Too many comments overthinking this tie, and proffering all manner of bizarre changes and lineups. Sure, they’ve recently had a fine run of form and will be gunning for a measure of redemption (if not revenge), but if we get back to our settled starting lineup with Hamza in for the injured Ndidi there’s no reason we shouldn’t come away with a reasonably comfortable victory.

Only problem is Norwich had a lot of fun against that formation, so maybe our midfield doesn't have enough steel for it.

Interesting take. Chelsea have lost at home to West Ham, Bournemouth & Southampton. Should they not be challenging for a competition they're already in? Tottenham have lost at home to Newcastle, drew with Watford, lost away to the side we beat 9-0...should they have no right to challenge for CL? Man City lost at Norwich and drew with Newcastle away. Do they have no right to challenge? By your logic, only Liverpool have the right to challenge for a CL place because they pretty much beat anybody.
Foxxed Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 Hamza, Barnes and Chilwell - our three academy graduates on the pitch please. I’d like to see Iheanacho at some point and maybe from the start since he’s got a knack of scoring goals.
