The team picks itself?Need to get a good start. A defeat or a drab draw will only bring in more doom and gloom.
Team picks itself:
DeGea
Valencia Smalling Lindelof Shaw
Herrera Pereira Fred
Rashford Sanchez Martial
I thought Bailly injured himself. Anyway he won't start ahead of Smalling.The team picks itself?
I don't think it's 100% that Martial starts. He's not played much football to get match sharp. Mata could definitely get the nod over him, despite being awful against Bayern.
Bailly could easily start too, ahead of Smalling but more likely Lindelof.
Hasn't Valencia been injured? I could be wrong.
Wasn't aware of the Bailly injury or that Valencia is back. It does concern me that Mata may start. I genuinely think Jose will pick him. Hope I'm wrong!I thought Bailly injured himself. Anyway he won't start ahead of Smalling.
Martial has to start; Mata is dire. He trained and played on the tour before the birth of his child. Read he was doing double training sessions at Carrington when the team was in Germany.
Valencia is back from injury.
I'm glad you asked@charlenefan The team should be...?
Leicester are without their 3 best players. 1 has gone to City and the other 2 are coming back from the World Cup. We are also at home, so should be a comfortable win.Midtable teams are usually full of adrenalin on opening days, and Leicester will definitely be up for it. Expect some pacy attacks from them.
Will go with 2-0. Sanchez and Pereira masterclass.
No Mahrez and presumably no Vardy, not sure who they have in reserve but I'm not seeing a great deal of threat from them. I expect a low scoring game especially when you factor in how we're playingMidtable teams are usually full of adrenalin on opening days, and Leicester will definitely be up for it. Expect some pacy attacks from them.

Thank you sir. I will check with the hotel on Thursday when I arrive.Email or call the hotel to ask what spirt channels they get. Otherwise I’m sure there will be lots of sports bars around.
Not bad considering only about 4 people play itA sad day that all the old stats have been removed I'd like to take this opportunity to pat myself on the back for finishing 3rd in last seasons predictions league.
Not too old? This discussion should be in the transfer thread if serious.We should buy Vardy. Seriously.
So you believe the worst case scenario is we win 1-0?Optimistic -
Darmian and Shaw lock down Leicester's flanks.
Martial starts on the left and scores a goal from a Pereira through ball.
Sanchez scores a brace and MoM.
We win 3-0.
Pessimistic -
We win 1-0 scoring from our only shot and Maguire gets MoM resulting in us doubling our supposed bid.
I never think we lose.So you believe the worst case scenario is we win 1-0?
I think the best we can hope for this Friday is a scrappy dull 1-0 win. But we'll probably get a draw.I never think we lose.
