Not having the team leaked a day in advance is making these pre match threads less interesting.......

I really hope this happens.

 

Can we have Mendy in goal aswell please

[demon_dog]

Hold on we're on telly, we usually play crap when this happens.

I say a 2-1 nervy city win.

[FoxFossil]

Crap kick off time. Vardy normally has a late afternoon nap, 'cos of his age.

Sweeper ‘keeper. X

Always seems a tough game against Burnley. Can see a 0-0 or dull 1-0 either way. We musn't let them score first or we will struggle. We beat West Brom but they are a poor team.

Exactly what I came to post. I can just see a really dull, Sunday night 0-0. Hope we're wrong!

Rennie gone, no Sean from enderby leaks thus far. Coincidence..

I think it’ll be the same side. If anything at all changes it will be if Maddison starts for Praet or Morgan in the back line so Wilf can play DCM, dropping Mendy to the bench but I reckon Wes will likely play in the week.

[Nick]

I don’t think we’ll keep a clean sheet today sadly but think we’ll win 2-1, 3-1 - maybe 3-2 if Justin gives away a pen!

It's simple.

 

Old disc beard will set up to frustrate. City need to do the basics right at the back and find a flash of creativity, which - given the pace and quality they have - will happen.

 

If they take their chances it's a 2-0 win.

 

 

Shame he didn't do a Vardy Annuals one. Love the AM podcast.

On BBC1 tonight so beer and free on the beeb watching our amazing Team grab another 3points 🙏

7pm on a Sunday is a shockingly bad ko time. Far too much weekend to fill not knowing how miserable/happy to be.

 

2-0 us.

[Collymore]

Anyone else a bit nervous/excited with this being on council telly? 

 

 

 

I'd imagine a Sunday night at 7pm game will be a good time for viewing figures and we'll probably hit the millions watching later? 

 

 

 

Foxiles like myself are probably used to educating friends and colleagues about the joys of Leicester so I'm hoping we're going to put on a good show to fly the Leicester flag.

That's put the kiss of death on a good result!

A team that will be compact and defend deep, against a team that more often than not struggles to break through such a system. Can't see it being one for the neutral!

Same side, frustrating first half until they start to get tired and we score a couple. 

 

2-0, HMS Piss The League fully underway.

 

[StanSP]

Kasper

 

Castagne -  Ndidi - Soyuncu - Justin

 

Mendy

 

Praet - Tielemans

 

Perez - Vardy - Barnes

 

Stick with the same side. Depending how the game is going, Maddison to come on at some point and maybe Kelechi. 

Gonna be tough today even if they have only had one competitive game so far a few days ago. Will be much more organised than West Brom were. Think we have to start quicker than last week though. The front 3 pressing will be key to stop them playing it around. Centre-backs will be very key too especially at set-pieces.
