Who's leg will Besic be breaking in his place then?
Andy King's most likely but reading through the thread the only source is some drunk guy in a pub who's supposedly a member of staff at Leicester

That'll be our starting 11 I'm afraid (with Lukaku, Kev, and Besic off the bench). Martinez tends to be very cautious with bringing injured/not match fit players back. This is going to be a hard fixture. No momentum coming out of pre-season; too many people coming back from injury or not match fit; and the blow of losing Ross. Wouldn't be surprised if we drew. Would be disappointed but not totally surprised.
Has Martinez ever played Hibbert in a league game? (Genuine question) Can't see him doing it. I've had a glass of wine and now think he will start with Coleman with Stones as replacement if Coleman tires of vice versa. Start with Stones and bring on Coleman if we need a goal. Hibbert brings nothing to this team at this stage (sorry Hibbo). Good review of game by Graeme Stuart on OS: manage the first 20 minutes and we should do these.what I want:
Howard
Coleman Jags Distin Baines
McCarthy Barry
Mirallas Naismith Pienaar
Lukaku
what I'm expecting:
Howard
Hibbo Jags Distin Baines
McCarthy Barry
McGeady Osman Pienaar
Naismith
I know everyone is freaking out about our attack with Ross out and maybe Kev and Rom, but look at our defense. Remember how good it was last year, it helped us win many games. I know we gave up a decent amount of goals in pre season but that doesn't matter. We'll be up for it! We'll shut them down with the combo of our midfield and defense. Naismith with a clinical finish and McGeady with a nice assist or screamer!
I have to confess my generally sanguine predisposition is somewhat on an ebb; so like-wise to you, I hope for, rather than trust-in, a positive outcome tonight (2 am NZ time)Predicting a poor result so I can be pleasantly surprised if we win.
