Know the opposition

Leicester City Football Club (nicknamed The Foxes, The Blues, City, and Blue Army), are a professional football club based in Leicester. Leicester City was founded in 1884 by a group of old boys of Wyggeston School as Leicester Fosse, before joining the Football Association in 1890. In 1919, when League football resumed after World War I, Leicester Fosse ceased trading due to financial difficulties of which little is known. The club was reformed as Leicester City Football Club, particularly appropriate as the borough of Leicester had recently been given city status.

Leicester City have enjoyed moderate success through the years - winning 3 League Cups, and reaching the final of the FA Cup 4 times - prior to their odds-defying Premier League title win in 2015/16. Leicester City's most prominent rivals are Nottingham Forest, Coventry City and Derby County, and they have been playing their home games at The King Power Stadium (originally named Filbert Way) since 2002.

Piss off with everything else.

 

[BluesJr]

I felt we may draw here because I was convinced we'd win tonight. That totally changes now though as we need to get back to winning ways. There will perhaps be an added edge knowing that we dropped two stupid points.

 

[Raw]

Just play our best team. Leicester will not be pushovers.

 

[charlenefan]

I'll be honest I'm not worried about this one, was shitting the Burnley game and I was spot on

They've lost their last 3 games (soon to be 4 after tomorrow) and 4 of the last 5 (again soon to be 5 out of their last 6). Those defeats include their last 2 home games

Puel is a manager on the brink, just hope he's still in charge come Sunday

They've schooled City and Chelsea in recent months. They'll get a reality check tomorrow night which will give the awakening they need before Sunday.

Nah bollocks to that we're beating them

 

[Devil may care]

Back to the first choice midfield 3 and front 3, if Martial is still out then it'll have to be Sanchez on the LW, I don't want Rashford shoved out there with lumpy in the middle. With the back 4 I think Lindelof and Shaw will start and Ashely Young will start by default as Ole clearly isn't convinced Dalot is ready for any games at the moment, I just pray Bailly or Smalling come in for Jones as the other CB.

 

[Canagel]

DDG
Young Bailly Lindelof Shaw
Matic Herrera
Pogba
Lingard Rashford Martial
​

Easy picks.

Thats our strongest team right now. No need to start Jones anymore and I hope Martial will be fit.

 

[ice-bionic red]

This game seems a lot tougher all of a sudden

 

[red_de_pologne]

DDG
Young Bailly Lindelof Shaw
Matic Herrera
Pogba
Lingard Rashford Martial
​

Easy picks.

That's our best team until Smalling is fully fit, but I think Ole prefers Jones to Bailly

 

[Kostov]

Let's hope Martial is back for his one, otherwise we are screwed.

 

[Canagel]

That's our best team until Smalling is fully fit, but I think Ole prefers Jones to Bailly

Bailly has had Vardy under control for 2 years . It's very easy choice coupled with Jones being massive liability. Smalling we haven't seen under the new system we'll have to wait.

 

[DRM]

Think this will end up a draw, another 2-2

 

[Canagel]

Thats our strongest team right now. No need to start Jones anymore and I hope Martial will be fit.

Yep.

Hope too see :

-------Rashford--Martial---

 

[FireballXL5]

I fully expect Leicester to bend over for Liverpool tonight and fight like tigers against us on Sunday.

 

[sunama]

feck injuries. feck realism. feck any player who has ever had a bad game. feck idiotic comments.

So are you suggesting that we start the match with Lukaku, Mata and Perreira?
I felt that he was correct in his cras assessment.
IMO, Lukaku is the only player who is good enough to play for us and that is as a substitute, he is not a starter. Mata and Perreira should not be playing for us.

 

[crossy1686]

Difficult game this. Lets just hope they're still in-fighting.

 

[minoo-utd]

Any news on Pogba? Is it serious or something? Hope he plays every game. We have no replacement for him.

 

[0le]

I fully expect Leicester to bend over for Liverpool tonight and fight like tigers against us on Sunday.

Or more likely that Liverpool will play well and deserve to win. I think we will play well too and also win.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Thats our strongest team right now. No need to start Jones anymore and I hope Martial will be fit.

Bailly isn't anywhere near our strongest team. Smalling should come back in for this and look to build on the solid partnership that he and Lindelof had.

 

[Ban]

Well at least better him than Jones if Mike isn't fit.

 

[minoo-utd]

Who can play in Pogba position? If he ( God forbid ) can't play this!

Alexis?

 

[Sereques]

Feck Mata
Feck Lukaku

Play the team that's been winning

11 people cannot play all the games. We HAVE to use the squad.

 

[dove]

Please no Jones, Perreira, Fred, Mata and Lukaku.

 

[Bola]

Here is my preferred line-up, I've assumed there are injuries to Pogba and Martial

De Gea

Dalot, Bailley, Lindelof, Shaw

Herrera, Matic, Fred

Lingard, Rashford, Sanchez

Subs
Romero, Smalling, Young, Mctom, Gomes, Lukkaku, Greenwood

 

[charlenefan]

Less confident now, no idea how well Leicester played tonight but they'll take belief from the result and go into our game with some confidence

 

[Hugh Jass]

This is going to be tough. Leicester took it to Liverpool tonight.

 

[breakout67]

Don't play Mata or Periera and we'll be fine. One is weak as piss and doesn't suit physical games, the other can't get game time as playmaker because of Pogba and so is trying to do a job elsewhere.

 

[norm87cro]

After their result tonight time for a power statement. 4 2 United

 

[2 man midfield]

Our best 11. You know the one.

 

[Fosu-Mens]

With Pogba, and not starting Lukaku, Mata and Pereira we should be fine. Without Pogba we will struggle.

 

[Jeffthered]

Tough game. Leicester have decent pedigree and despite the fact they tend to blow hot and cold, as you can see from last night's performance, they can find a v v effective way of playing when they 'click'.

The players and fans will be buoyed by last night's game and will enjoy the visit from our lads (correction). They have players who are quick, throughout their team.

We need some players, I really worry about our squad... Shame Ole decided not to try and add during Jan.

We lack real, credible midfield rotation options. Fred clearly isn't cutting the mustard, he cannot even get a game.

 

[Crashoutcassius]

Leicester will great but our best should be good enough. It looks to me like we will be able to make chances vs anybody and just need to make sure we put them away as early as possible. We have looked okay at seeing games out.

 

[Kapardin]

Very tough game. If we play like we did against Burnley, missing chances and making mistakes like Pereira did, we will lose.

We need to play like our best games under Ole. I hope Martial and Pogba are fit.
