Aus Fox 8,567 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January I’d be surprised if Vardy played this game, might be a good chance with games coming think and fast to give him today and Saturday off, get him right for Everton. I would be tempted to go with a front 3 of Barnes Perez and Under with the 3 constantly interchanging and mixing it up. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Leicester_Loyal 5,343 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January Would take a draw. A win would be fantastic. I reckon it'll probably be the same team as started today, except with maybe Cags instead of Fofana? Play the second team against Brentford and then we should still be fresh for the Everton game, they're coming thick and fast again. Link to post Share on other sites
egg_fried_rice 1,225 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January Really beatable these. We'll struggle without Vardy though, he wasn't quite right this eve. Even when he's not in form (which is rare) the measures taken to counter the threat he poses frees up space for others. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
winteriscoming 1,101 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January Kasper Soyuncu Evans Fofana Castagne Justin Tielmans Ndidi Maddison Barnes Vardy I think Brendan will go to a back 3 for this 1. Might go with Albrighton instead of castagne. That’s what I’d go with. Link to post Share on other sites

Vacamion 11,943 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January Kante is back after suspension. Chilwell is fit. They could put Drinkwater in the Premier League Squad. And maybe sign Dimmy Gray for £40 million, seeing as they like signing Leicester players. And if they sack Lampard, maybe Don Claudio can take over. In fact, screw it, maybe they can swap that Lion for a Fox. Link to post Share on other sites

lcfc sheff 1,379 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January Worst thing that can happen is Perez at false 9, Think I can live with that with the rest of the team being the same. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

TBF they have had to give us 120m to do so, which we’ve invested in a much better squad so in a way we have to thank them. fyi DD gone on loan somewhere in Europe so they can’t bring him in. For me a draw against these is acceptable, just don’t lose it is what I ask Link to post Share on other sites

Raw Dykes 3,939 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January The win today takes the pressure off. A draw wouldn't be a disaster, but we can win this. I think Cags might start. I think Fofana's the tits, but I was reminded tonight just how good Soyuncu is. He is such a calming presence at the back. We are really spoilt for choice at both CB and full-back. I wouldn't risk starting Vardy if he needs the rest. Ayoze as a false 9 is fine by me. Hopefully, Jamie's fit enough for the bench, at least. I'd like to see Ricardo and Under play some part soon.

We’ll be fine if we play like we know we can Without him on the pitch we're a totally different side.. just his presence makes a massive difference! Without him the opponents feel more comfortable and confident in nullifying our attacking threat. Iheanacho and Perez are just not good enough as replacements. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

No team would be as good without their best player. However I do think his importance to the team is overstated somewhat. I think we have the ability to cope without him for a number of games. I wouldn’t want to face months without him but a few games would be okay. Link to post Share on other sites

LCCFox96 997 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January I was more nervous for Southampton that this one pre-match. Even though we beat Southampton tonight, based off the two games today that hasn't changed. Chelsea obviously have very dangerous players but now we've had a good run of games operating with a close to first choice back 4 and have Ndidi and Tielemans in absolutely monstrous form in front of them I feel really positive about this one. I've been looking forward to Castagne/Justin/Ricardo/Anyone running at Chilwell on the overlap since he moved. If the likes of Maddison makes little darts into the inside channel between Chilwell and the CB I think we'll get some joy out of that. Link to post Share on other sites
