Is vardy definitely out or just a doubt?

[Silva Fox]

Kasper has a toe injury 

Shouldn't affect him finding the stands or the opposition striker with every kick.

Ironically, Matty James.

I’d take a point in all honesty, given the horrendous situation we’ve found ourselves in with injuries. 
 

I’m of the mindset that we just need to grind these next few months out. Let’s get to Christmas within 5-7 points of the top 4 and make sure we get out of our Europa League group and then have a big second half of the season with Ndidi, Ricardo, Maddison, Praet, Vardy, Evans and Soyuncu all fit and firing.

Considering how many we're likely missing and that Villa is a very decent side, a point would be a terrific result.

Grinding out the next 2 and a half months whilst being 2 or 3 results behind the top 4 and progression out of the Europa group sounds like two totally different things to me!

Maybe I’m being optimistic but hoping Evans and Vardy are fit enough to start, and hopefully Praet as well. With Maddison to replace Praet on the hour mark to manage both of their fitness, and Kel for Vardy as well. Not sure if all the talk around Slim for Brendan suggests Vards is out so Kel to start and Slim on the bench?!

 

Hopefully we can still field a decent side as below. Would prefer Ünder to start but think we might have to wait until Thursday for him to get his first start and play Perez as he knows the system and players better and would offer more support down that side marking Grealish.

 

Schmeichel 

 

Chestnuts 

Little Wes 

Evans 

Justin

 

Praet

Mendy 

Youri

 

Perez 

Vardy 

Barnes 

 

Ward, Fuchs, Morgan, Choudhury, Maddison, Cengiz, Iheanacho

Everyone seem to have missed the quote where rodgers said 'we're hopeful jonny evans is fit'.

[mozartfox]

Has Nostradamus joined our PR team?  Get a grip, Things may look a lot better come 6.45 pm and if they do not, well then it is how it is. As as long as whoever plays turns up and gives it a good go, we will be fine. Just not another Wham performance please Brendan.

Wake me up before you go go? 

[Grebfromgrebland]

If we play our normal game we'll get picked off on the break. We should play like we did against Man City and absorb pressure then counter.

Hoping to be significantly cheered up with a comprehensive victory tonight.

 

Otherwise I'm taking up indoor carpet bowls.

Not sure we'd have much of a choice. Might be down to him or Kevin

My 'sources' tell me Evans is okay but no Vardy.

 

Edit: Not 100% sure on the reliability of my 'source'.

Anything on Praet and Maddison?

[copunk]

Cant stand these but I reckon we are gonna struggle tonight, our injury crisis at the minute is unreal, as others have said would take a point tonight, got some very tricky games coming up

[Pliskin]
