Southampton away pre-match

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Again, not a game we can afford to take lightly. We've done the business against 2 sides we expected to be tough nuts to crack (1 was) now a different type of challenge against a side that is always motivated against us. I think we'll win but there will be goals and nail biting. 

 

Saints 2 Leicester 3 (Vardy brace, Kel)

Exactly. I think we should be looking at taking 6 points from the next 2 games. Then we go into the games against Man Utd and Chelsea with no pressure really.

Absolutely, all games left are winnable, we have beat them all at some point this season already. No fear.

Same system, Perez and Albrighton/Ricardo in. 

 

Please just win it and do away with any possible repeat of last season!!!

A win and we could put top 4 to bed.

There’s 50% chance of rain on Friday 🤞🏻

Again, we should beat these regardless of what formation we put out if Tielemans and Kel are playing. Both those lads deserve massive bonuses for bailing us out.

Worried about little Wes. Low energy levels until 12th May. 

I fast 18 hours a day and 40 hours at the weekend.

 

It has zero negative effect once the body gets used to it, human beings don't need to eat every three hours, he'll be absolutely fine.

Need to be ruthless and win again. Trouble is we ended Saints' season the other weekend and they could be out for revenge. 

 

When is Barnes back? Maddison is in one of his annoyingly common dry patches and Perez is Perez. If we can somehow fit in Barnes, Nacho and Vardy....

Southampton and Newcastle have nothing to play for these are the points we need to take, going into the last 3 games with pressure is not going to be tough otherwise.  keep the momentum from last night and fight with the memory of falling out of the top 4 last season like its something that needs to be be buried.   Like most people have commented Ricky P to start but other then that i don't see any many changes

Palace didn't have anything to play for, but didn't give us an easy time.

 

That's the beauty of the PL league, every game is a challenge.

Between them they have 45 goals this season and that's with Barnes being out for a period, Kelechi struggling the first half of the season and Vardy struggling now. If we could somehow get all three of them flying at the same time it'd be frightening.

Indeed your right surprises are dished out most weeks, Southampton will also want to make a point after they went out of the FA cup with a wimper but i'm saying our motivation needs to be based on the end of last season and putting that ghost to bed because we have more quality but we need to want it more because I think the team with more desire wins this one in the end

They didnt lay a glove on us in the cup and I dont see any reason we should not repeat the win

Wouldn't it, even with Vardy struggling some of the link up play between him and nacho is brilliant, add in the power and pace of Barnes. 

 

If would could get them all on song, we could do something very special.

Must win ..  as is Newcastle ..  otherwise it will be a squeaky bum end to the season ..  and possible misery like before. 

[UniFox21]

Could be a tough game. We've played twice since Southampton last had a game.

[Guest Col city fan]

Cliche though it is, points is points. 
We need to field our strongest side against the Saints, win the game and prepare for the next one. 

[Fox in the North]

Play the same 11 again for consistency then sub on Perez and Albrighton again. I think that combination with 20 mins ago, really helps add extra energy into the team when the opposition is starting to flag.

Exactly this. I fast as well and truthfully i feel about the same. But of course, I'm used to it. He'll be used to it as well. And given he's a professional player, that knows his body well, he'll be fine. It's a matter of managing it well more than anything and it's clear he's doing so

Sun sets at 20:26 in Southampton on Friday. Perhaps an advantage to be playing night matches.

A win would be massive, 2 points off Man U and them having a Europa game and Liverpool on Sunday.

Didn't work for Palace.
