[SystonFox]

As good an xi as we can field pretty much

[Dandy king]

I've been thinking all week this will be close but now it's almost match time I'm 100% sure we're gonna smash em

Southampton have a player called Smallbone.

 

Lacks penetration apparently.

It’s how they use him that matters…

Love to see Rickers back on the bench. Fair enough team, just hope he have enough defensive cover on the bench.

[Leicester_Loyal]

This would be a massive win. Ings and Vest are huge losses for them.

Our team is looking absolutely immense at the moment, the starting 11 is enough but that bench too 😭 genuinely one of the best in the league 

[Sunbury Fox]

This feels like a huge game, given that the table has tightened still further behind us today. Lose this, with 2 hard games to follow, and we could easily get drawn back into the pack.

You know he is one tough MF with a name like that. 

Kinda reminds me of a boy named Sue.

[Stevosevic]

Must win. Genuinely.

 

Could be season defining.

[Blue-fox]

Could do with a Vardy goal from open play, to get his goals going again. I’m saying 2-1. 

[UHDrive]

We need to create some space between the mid table teams now. Should be beating Southampton and Chelsea with the squad we have right now.

[weller54]

Wonder if Smallbone will be introduced to our own Hugebone?

[GeorgeTheFox]

Think this is a game that will define the rest of our season. Southampton are a tough team but one we probably expect to beat if we have top 4 ambitions. Let's have it 

[BigGibbo]

Thank the lord Vardy is fit to start. Most important game of the season for me.

 

Need to slap down these pretenders to our throne of top six disruptor sharpish. 

[Nalis]

2-1, come on youuuu bluuuuues

[lnkstern]

Looking forward to seeing Timmy and JJ wear out Southampton.

 

I am reservedly confident for this match.  Lets get things going at home!

[fazzyfox]

Don't rip the p*** out of Shane Long, we all know what's happened when we've done that before. No doubt the hapless Lord of the fluke will come on, jog around looking harmless and out of his depth then bounce one in off himself if we do. Whoops.

Don’t knock him. He always has space playing in deep midfield

DAVID NUGENT,

HE PLAYED FOR ENGLAND,

AND HE REPRESENTS THE FAMOUS LEICESTER CITY,

AGAINST ANDORRA,

HE WAS A SCORER,

AND HE'S GONNA SCORE ANOTHER ONE TONIGHT

Ricardo back on the bench

 

Subs: Ward, Söyüncü, Amartey, Ricardo, Thomas, Mendy, Ünder, Pérez, Iheanacho.

 

An entire back 4 on the bench...? One MF, one wide player...

[Pliskin]

I think this will be a fairly comfortable victory. We could do with a nice 3 or 4 -0 win! 

[Steve Earle]

I see Smallbone starts for them. Is he from Devizes?

[Raw Dykes]

Our bench tonight is mental. Who remembers what it looked like when we'd just got promoted last?

Here it is:

• 7 Hammond
• 12 Hamer
• 15 Schlupp
• 20 Hopper
• 22 Taylor-Fletcher
• 27 Wasilewski
• 39 Wood

Come a long way since then.

No he comes from Cocktown in Ireland
