I don't expect a clean sheet, the Foxes know how to score, against ANYONE.
However, I expect us to clean up.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Does any Danske caftards or anyone else know if there's a sportsbar (O'Learys) after the security check at Kastrup airport? Flight back to Helsinki departs at 20:20 so I could watch the match at the airport. Thanks.Herrera could come in for Mikhi/Mata and Martial has earned a starting spot, maybe Darmian at LB, but I'm not sure how much quicker than Blind he is.
Leicester don't pack the defense, we'll have our chances, if we can take them like we've done so far, we could end up scoring 3 or more again.
Would be great for the confidence of the team to go into the international break with a 100% record.Will be a tough one that.
Should have got sent off for that. He clearly kicked out.
Hope Bailly smashes him on Saturday.
I hope so.
The only worry is that they will park the bus and effectively make the game boring.
If they come to "play", then it should be a good battle and they probably will score against us.
I do hope we score 4.Team performance aside, there are some key individual performance to watch in our defense
Acid test for Bailly & Jones against Vardy, their biggest threat.
Blind/Darmian & Matic against MahrezSame team please. Maybe martial for rashfors.
Is this just your opinion or the general feeling amongst Leicester fans? Just out of interest.Expect a more defensive line up.
----------------de Gea
Tony------Bailly----Jones---Darmian
--------------Matic
-------Ander-------Pogba
Mkhi/Jesse----------------Martial
--------------RomRashford vs Martial, again, again and again.Score draw. Michael Oliver to send Pogba off for dabbing.
I admit I am at the extreme end of the scale but the general consensus is that he is past it nowConfidence is sky high on RedCafe. Looking at the pie chart, around 97% expect us to win,
with 3-1 being the most popular score prediction.
Leicester will score, I'm pretty sure of it. We may need at least 2 goals to win, maybe 3.
It really is tiresome. Can't people just be happy we have both?
Wrong. He no longer dabs to celebrate.I think Leicester will score, but I fancy us to get two or three. There's not much reason to change the team too much, but perhaps starting Martial might be the right call. He's not going to be on international duty while Rashford is, so it'd be good for him to get a full game (or close to it) in by now.
Other than that one season hasn't he always been fairly shite? The year before i saw him at ot and he was useless, scoring an own goal. At the time i predicted he would score one as i'd seen him a few times and he'd always been awful.
Damn. You didn't have a good opinion of him.
You felt he'd score an own goal and he duly delivered.
I predict Rashford will start and Martial on the bench but I really hope he start against Leicester. I'm curious with his impact as starter, can he play as deadly as sub player or not. about Vardy, we have Bailly to stop him and actually the player that makes me annoyed is Okazaki, he cant stop moving like a fly
3 - 0 for our win!No PC today?Don't think it's necessary to pack the midfield with Herrera against a 4-4-2, as evidenced at the last 2 games last season. It's no coincidence that Jose played twice 4-2-3-1 against Leiceister. Additionally, given it's at OT, and the outperformance of both Martial and Rashford, I expect both of them to start over Mata in a 4-2-3-1, going out and attack them or hit them on the counter in a very open, fast paced game.
--------------Lukaku-------------
Martial--------Mkhi-----Rashford
---------Matic-----Pogba---------
Blind---Jones---Bailly---ValenciaAny idea when the presser is for this?
Now
Started at 2.
Has already been. Not very much team news though, but no new injuries at least.Ah right cheers everyoneSurely we'll see Darmian in for Blind. Only possible change apart from that is Martial in for someone but think we'll see him on the bench again.I think he will go with another unchanged team. The team has worked well so far I really don't see him changing it now.
I know that Tony M has looked good coming on for the last 10 minutes or so but feel that is another scenario Jose will try to replicate rather then change the team because of.
I'm going 4-2. I still think we will get our 4 against them but think they offer more going forward than West Ham or Swansea.Confidence is sky high on RedCafe. Looking at the pie chart, around 97% expect us to win, with 3-1 being the most popular score prediction.
Leicester will score, I'm pretty sure of it. We may need at least 2 goals to win, maybe 3.
MO thinking, "challenge accepted".@Jimmy Skitz , Vardy recovered for this one?
Conflicted about whether to wish for a midfield two or three, the foxes play a two so a three isn't necessary, but on the other hand we would absolutely dominate the center of the park with matic, herrera and pogba.Didn't change anything last week and I see no reason to change anything this week, in regards to the line up. I don't think Leceister dictates a change in tactics, so keep the train rolling on.
yeah he's fine, so is Morgan now apparently
Yes, I'll be disappointed if we don't score 4, almost expect it every game now, daft I know but once we've done it a few times, will become second nature!
How things have changed since last season!!
It's epic and long may it continue.Yes, I'll be disappointed if we don't score 4, almost expect it every game now, daft I know but once we've done it a few times, will become second nature!

The thing is that Leicester are not the best defensive side out there but are good on the counter attack. I can see them scoring but see us out scoring them.I changed my prediction from 2-0 to 3-1. I think that's the most probable predict for this game. I can't see us not putting at least 2-3 goals past their defense but they'll likely snap a goal here and there.
I know what you mean because I feel exactly the same way.
I fully expect us to steam roll, over any team we face.In our first two games we haven't opened the scoring until near half time. An early goal would be nice tomorrow.
Thrice, actually.- Status
