darko2k7 Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 Leicester The Foxes go into the game with Sheffield United after a fine 2-0 away win at Barnsley. City's revival under manager Sven-Goran Eriksson is gathering pace after taking 12 points from a possible 18. City started the game brightly and on 18 minutes, found the opener. A Martyn Waghorn freekick curled dangerously towards the back post with Miguel Vitor on hand to head the ball home. City continued to dominate the game and had a goal ruled out on the 24 minutes. Paul Gallagher's free kick was headed on by Martyn Waghorn to Andy King, who turned the ball into the back of the net, but the captain's effort was ruled out for offside. It took the home side until midway through the second half, when Nathan Doyle hit a left foot screamer which rattled Chris Weale's bar before being cleared to safety by Greg Cunningham. The points were secured for the visitors on 85 minutes. Paul Gallaghers perfectly weighted cross found King, who blasted the ball into the roof of the net to send the travelling 2,300 City fans wild. Eriksson will be looking for his side to make it three wins in three on Wednesday night against Sheffield United at the Walkers Stadium. Sheffield Utd Both the Blades and City would have had ambitions of being among the front runners in the league this season, but both currently find themselves at the wrong end of the npower Championship table. With City's revival under Sven-Goran Eriksson gathering pace, United's season under Gary Speed has faltered lately, losing their last three games on the bounce. The last defeat came at home against Ipswich Town. Tamas Priskin opened the scoring on 6 minutes after Nick Montgomery failed to clear his lines. On 29 minutes, McAuley won the tussle against former Fox, Mark Yeates, but only to put the ball into the path of Steven Quinn, who took a neat touch and fired the ball home to level the game. United's joy didn't last for long as another former City player, Gareth McAuley, headed the ball down and placed a neat finish past Blades' goalkeeper Steve Simonsen for the winner. A win for the visitors on Wednesday evening would see them move level on points with City. Gary Speed will be looking for his side to get back to winning ways and move away from the relegation zone.

Corky Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 Annoyed I can't go tonight. Hopefully we'll play like we did in this fixture last season, one of our better performances.

Jackirius Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 Now that is some dedication into the match thread.
ousefox Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 Vitor obviously injured then. At least it gives Hobbs a chance to prove if he is worth a starting place.
Austin Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 Vitor obviously injured then. At least it gives Hobbs a chance to prove if he is worth a starting place. My exact thought
MikeyT Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 Weale Naughton Davies Hobbs CunninghamAbe King WellensGallagher Waghorn Vassell Logan, Morrison, Howard, Fryatt, Berner, Dyer, Moussa. Will it be that formation or will Gallagher be used on the wing, do we know?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 Happy with that team, especially the midfield three. If them lot click, I'd fancy us tonight.
ousefox Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 Will it be that formation or will Gallagher be used on the wing, do we know? Most likely to alternate from 433 to 451
sdb Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 you know things are looking up when Hobbs appears to be the weakest link. Complacency is the biggest potential achilles heel tonight. Come on Leicester!!!
ScouseFox Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 Nice team, shame Vitor's missing out, Hobbs ain't a bad replacement like. A win would be superb tonight.
Joe. Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 Looks like United may be playing just the one up front in Cresswell? Seems to be the only recognised striker in their lineup from what I can see. It could be a long night...
crazylegs1984 Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 3-1 citeh king and waghorn 2 , cresswell
sdb Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 their midfield's pretty strong tbf, although if we get stuck in to them i can see us doing them
clare Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 I've given Foxes Player a go, so heeeeere we go! Come on City!
Pegosteve Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 OK lets go another roller coaster night ahead... come on city...
AmyLGK Posted 10 November 2010 Posted 10 November 2010 I definably feel a roller coaster coming on!! COME ON CITY!
