On to the next one - Burnley (H)

[StanSP]

Think Mahrez will come back in for this one. Cambiasso and Drinkwater/James in the middle. Vardy/Ulloa up top with Nugent just behind those 2. Defence to stay the same as will Kasper in goal. 

 

GOod chance to get back on track and with Burnley's poor scoring form it's also a good chance for the defenders to get some confidence back. Based on Burnley's performances so far this season, we really have to be beating these.

MacArthur would not have signed to spend the season on the bench. Neither would cambiasso. You need some continuity week to week. We have enough in midfield. If we stay up and look settled, we should be setting our sights on better players than MacArthur if we see fit to strengthen in that area. I thought it was a positive statement not to sign him.

Btw, looking at burnley, I think the diamond would be effective as they don't have much pace out wide. perhaps Nigel will stick with it?

That's meant to be Vardy and Ulloa starting.

Sorry mate

[johnny the fox]

If we dispatch them next week I think they will start to become punchy.. only two places to avoid then..

[The Guvnor]

Burnley were dire today probably due to missing four key players, if they have not returned from injury on Saturday we should win comfortably.

Well 2 of those definitely won't play - Ings & Vokes. 

 

Not sure when Marney and the other guy are due back.

[Stevosevic]

Great chance of another 3pts, anything less will be extremely disappointing.

[Freesolo]

The team know we have to win these type of games at home, we play well at home and we are the better team Burnley are most likely going to try and park the bus and nick a goal somehow. 

[Guest kristianity77]

3 points is a must in this one.  Keep the gap growing between us and 18th.  I look at the points difference to 18th this year like I looked at the gap to 3rd last year.  Win and that margin will be 5, maybe 6 points.  Healthy lead.

marney and taylor next week. no one else missing (ings and volkes apart)

[ADK]

Seems like a classic banana skin.

[Guest Papasmurf]

Will be nice to get back to a 3pm Saturday home game.

[Guest ttfn]

Watch them get it together and sneak it 1-0

Teams rarely get stuffed in consecutive games - (puts on tin hat and waits for contrary evidence)

[CloudFox]

It will be a tough game if the majority of their first team are fit to play. It might be stating the obvious too, but getting the first goal will be crucial. Judging by today's game, if we get the first goal then the pressure will be on them massively. That many games without a goal is very concerning for any team.

[maddog]

Burnley haven't scored a goal for 6 whole matches including three at home.

They have gone 616 minutes without scoring a single goal... We have to win at least 1-0 but a comfortable 2-0 ideally. Will be very disappointing if we can't get a goal and it ends 0-0.

[Fez of Mahrez]

Think Mahrez will come back in for this one. Cambiasso and Drinkwater/James in the middle. Vardy/Ulloa up top with Nugent just behind those 2. Defence to stay the same as will Kasper in goal. 

Is that Drinkwater or James? Where's Mahrez playing?

[Callabinho]

4-3-3 same back 4. Cambiasso-James- Drinky - Mahrez, Nugent, Ulloa.

[ealingfox]

Pretty much guaranteed that they'll bag and that Jones will have Drinky pocketed. 0-1 defeat I reckon.

[HoustonFox]

Id like to see Pearson do what I thought he'd do v Palace. Play the 4-4-2.

Lets get the partnerships going again. Drinkwater/James in the middle. Nugent/Vardy up top.

Knocky one wing, Mahrez the other.

Schlupp for Konch.

Take the game to Burnley and hit them with pace.

Agree with this Col, but I would stick with Konch at left back, he's played consistently well and Jeff looks off the boil. I'd also go for Albrighton right wing as I think his pace and hard work coupled with Ritchie will give their left side (away from Trippier) hell. Vards and Nuge up top for the hard work and pace plus Nuge's track record. I think Leo could use a rest.

Wood off the bench too. Oooof

[Leicesterpool]

Probably looks harder game than it does, pressure I do fear will be on us now. Go with a normal 4-4-2. I'd perhaps give Albrighton a starting XI debut in this put him on the right and Mahrez on the left.

 

Prediction: 3-2 Leicester, going to be tough game

They're serious too, how tragic.
