Unless BT works on my phone abroad I'll be missing this one annoyingly as I'll be at the Levekusen match with my German friend (who are ironically facing our Europa League opponents of next week).

Conference league*

We're still yet to reach the dizzying heights of the Europa league under this ownership. 

 
Jorgensen​

James  Fofana  Colwill  Cucurella​

Caicedo  KDH​

Neto    Palmer   Mudryk​

Jackson​
 
Wouldn't play Dewbs. Seems like the type who would have his tail between his legs from the home crowd booing his every touch. 

Leicester are so poor defensively. Should be beating them by 2 or 3 goals. 

 
Player welfare is popping up in the media, as they speculate that, in addition to the injured Lavia, neither Enzo nor Caicedo will be able to start due to all the travel, time zone changes and this being an early Saturday game.

If none of the 3 can play then I would opt for:

Jorgensen 

Gusto

Fofana

Colwill

Cucrella

James

Palmer

Neto

Nkunku

Felix

Guiu

I know, I know. Jackson and Sanchez will play.

James a 6, Palmer an 8, like how Caicedo and Enzo set up as a duo.

Not Coles ideal position but we need him and we need to be attacking this lot and going for goals.

Caicedo did not play against Bolivia a few days ago as he was suspended. Will play against Colombia tonight and head back to Cobham tomorrow. He will 100% start against Leicester.

Lavia was precautionary. He was supposed to play in only one of the two matches, against Israel, but since Belgium lost against Italy, that match had no meaning anymore and they decided to let Lavia rest.

Enzo played around 80 minutes last match for Argentina and will start again tonight v Peru. I think he will be on the bench on Saturday.

Caicedo and Lavia in midfield v Leicester most probably.

Hopefully.

 
Correct me if I am wrong but we've had a few early kick offs after the international break and I believe Enzo and Caicedo were fine every time? Enzo missed Bournemouth but that was due to him being ill vs fatigued. 

 
Despite concerns over Caicedo, Enzo and Lavia (I think Caicedo and Enzo will be fine from the get go) we are playing Leicester at a good game. Buonanotte is suspended, who has been brilliant for Leicester since joining them on loan. Big bonus for us. Fatawu is a major doubt after getting injured on international duty. Real maverick of a player and he was brilliant in the FA Cup game at the Bridge last season. Ayew also got inured on international duty and is another major doubt.

I was actually worried Leicester would've sacked Cooper over the international break.

Really? They have no reason too. They are above the relegation zone and he has picked up some good results. I would say they have done better than people expected so far.

I have a couple Leicester mates who are already fed up. Recent results don't back up the performance.

Thanks. Just seen a lot of the criticism and seen there has been sack speculation. Still surprised though. I don't know what people were really expecting for them to do. If it is for a better playing style, you get exploited too easily and then concede bucket loads of goals. But in terms of position, he has done a good job. They may also just need better players too.

Maresca did the best he can with the players he had there last season and they moaned it was boring. If kdh was the best player they had then in hindsight he did a good job there.

I don't know what they expect(ed) either tbh. Unfortunately boring and pragmatic unless you have top players is the way to go if you want to go up the league table. 

This gfx doesn't look well for them.

Saying that though...we have a busy period ahead until March and the next international break. This is crunch time for all teams.

Don't care about other teams, is certainly crunch time for us. 

All well and good being like "ah was Liverpool, Arsenal, Old Trafford" etc.

Now, bar Villa, we play mid table and relegation cannon fodder, so we need to deliver win after win after win, no excuses.

Exactly, these are where the actual points are. Proper hard graft now and I'll even join you lot in moaning too. Well, sometimes. Lol

Newly promoted team talk about playing style 😂😂😂

Leicester has low midtable PL squad and they are 15. 

 
Another early kick off after an International break.
