Leicester City v Manchester City pre-match

[SuperMike]

I'll be fuming if Soyuncu isnt playing! Put £30 on LCFC to win, mostly based on that unbelievably good back three!

 

.....I suppose Big Dan could be Man-of-the-Match !?

If true that's annoying. I've said for ages that we won't see a fully fit Ricardo until next season, he just keeps picking up niggles, it'll probably be the same for JJ when he returns too.

 

I'd be chuffed with a draw, no reason we can't achieve that.

Big Dan did the job last time against these

FFS, if Cags is really out go back to 4 at the back.  We've dodged a bullet riding the back 5 as long as we have - without Soyuncu there's no reason to continue the charade.

It'll still be a back 5. We've beaten man City and man utd playing that system so I don't get everyone's beef with it.

Ricardo meanwhile isn't COVID positive, given he was in attendance at the memorial garden earlier today.

If the rumours are true surely its a massive breach of protocol at an international level. I'd expect every player to be tested prior to joining the international group, routine testing carried out daily, social distancing to be observed during team meetings/downtime, training, and travel, along with individual rooms during the stay. The only time players should be coming into close proximity of each other is on the pitch. I understand this happening at lower league level where resources are limited but you'd really expect an international team to be able to contain and prevent an outbreak of Covid if one player became symptomatic.

Man City have drifted quite a bit on the exchanges from a low of 1.51 to 1.61 last night to 1.73 now.

 

I expect maybe someone has got wind their team might not be as strong as usual.

Yep it served us well up until December when we had our worst injury crisis and put us in top 4 contention.

Aguero and Jesus both start

And he's on the bench, well that's a lot better news then!

 

Hopefully gets 15-25 minutes at some point.

Have you been to Turkey ?  Very laid back about everything........ I don’t suppose they bother with ‘protocols’ .....

I knew Jesus would be back- its easter after all
