I suppose a postponement would give Wilf and Vardy a bit longer recovery time. I thought this aswell however I thought it’s announced when premier league footballers have COVID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 5 February 2021 Share Posted 5 February 2021 We've had injuries for a few weeks now, though they're slowly getting better. Nuno has mentioned "problems we'll have to assess" for a few consecutive games now so I wouldn't read anything into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 5 February 2021 Share Posted 5 February 2021 Hope Under plays because neither Albrighton or Perez really have the pace to go beyond Iheanacho often enough. If the concern is that he doesn't track back enough then it's less important against a side that plays with a five at the back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WigstonWanderer Posted 5 February 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 5 February 2021 15 hours ago, browniefox said: This is a weekend where a win will really show in the table with teams around us playing each other. Liverpool playing Man City and Everton playing Man Utd. A win for us and the Manchester clubs pushes us all away from the pack, good for our top 4 aspirations. Either of the Manchester clubs drop points we are in the perfect place to jump one or close the gap to the other. A massive game which could have a massive impact on the teams mentality for the rest of the season, a loss and teams closing on us could have the it's happening again effect. I know I'm stating the obvious but i really think this weekend could define the second half of the season. This is exactly the sort of situation that unfortunately we have bottled over the last couple of seasons. Hopefully not this time 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 5 February 2021 Share Posted 5 February 2021 I’m expecting Albrighton to come in for Perez, although I’d like to see Under get a start, the rest should remain the same as the Fulham game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 5 February 2021 Share Posted 5 February 2021 Kasper Ricardo - Evans - Soyuncu - Justin Mendy - Tielemans Albrighton - Maddison - Barnes Vardy The team almost picks itself like that. Resigned to Under not starting until probably against Slavia Prague. Iheanacho did well on Wednesday but Vardy has to play if he's fit. Has to start at least and hopefully Iheanacho, if he comes on, can play like he did against Fulham. Wolves are much better opposition than Fulham and will obviously be on a high after the win over Arsenal. Ricardo back for us is such a big bonus. Comfortable on Wednesday and excited to see him again. Fancy him for a goal... If Ndidi is fit then he obviously starts over Mendy. Here's hoping Youri and Maddison can continue their good form. Expect Barnes to have more success in being direct and on the ball than Wednesday. Fulham's defensive style restricted him and he was marked out of most of the game.

Popular Post Raw Dykes Posted 5 February 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 5 February 2021 I think I'd start Kel in this. Deserves it off the last game, and I don't want to risk rushing Vardy back. Bring Vardy on for the last 20 or 30 if we need a goal. Don't want to rush Ndidi back, either. Not really sure which of Hamza or Mendy I'd pick in his place. Hamza did alright against Fulham, but Mendy is the better player. I think Mendy might be more suited to this game. I think I'd probably put Albrighton back in, but won't be shocked to see Ayoze again. Kasper Ricardo Evans Soyuncu JJ Mendy Youri Albrighton Maddison Barnes Nacho Subs: Ward, Amartey, Fuchs, Thomas, Ndidi (Leshabela if Wilf's not ready), Hamza, Under, Perez, Vardy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with others, I'd love to see Ünder play but Albrighton is in good form. Kelechi has earned his start and gives us Vardy off the bench to do damage if necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 5 February 2021 Share Posted 5 February 2021 Definitely don't want Perez to start. Would be happy with either Albrighton or Ünder on the right wing but suspect Brendan will go for Albrighton given the threat posed by Neto down their left.
