Looks like we will defend deep to negate Vardy’s pace. I think Iwobi has done enough to keep his place hopefully in a more central role. I would give Kean a start to see if he can play for us. Can’t see it being a great game, more a game of tactics, we will sit back and they will sit back, both looking to play on the break. Let’s hope the ball doesn’t get stuck in the middle of the pitch and no one can get it like a dodgy table football game.

We've been poor since returning, albeit two games. I wrote the first one off as "it's the first game back" but the midweek game against Brighton was horrific. If Brighton scored the penalty they'd have won, which sounds stupid but more of the point we never looked like scoring.

I can't see us winning at Goodison. In any other circumstance I'd take a draw but Chelsea are now only a point behind us.

No need to worry.

Top 5 gets you CL league this season.

Your form has fallen off a cliff but you'll still be in the top 5 come the end of the season.
 
Ok.....I want us to win 6-0. Playing beautiful majestic attacking football. We destroy Leicester. We are brilliant.
But that won't happen.
So we stiffle them. Everything gets bogged down in midfield.
So we go long. And they cut out all our long ball attacks. We cut out all their attacks.
Vardy doesn't get a kick. DCL also doesn't get a kick.
We draw 0-0. (Unless Pickford decides to do something stupid).
Take the point.
And this God awful season moves a step closer to its end.

Yep, they will be safe for champions league, as well as what i said in here about vardy needs 1 for the 100th and we are a team that gets players scoring 1st ever goal v us, 50th etc, we are also good at restarting a team that are not in form run again [as good as they were], but sticking to us winning
 
Are City 100% getting kicked out from next season?

I haven't been following that at all.

The way some are talking, it's either confirmed or a foregone conclusion. I've not seen any confirmation anywhere though, yet (again, because I've not been arsed to look).

They are banned from Eurpoean competitions for 2 seasons.

They are currently waiting on the result of an appeal.

The smart money is that the ban will be reduced to 1 season.
 
Foresee another tight game with us looking to get opportunities on the break. Hoping Delph is fit to see a bit more in midfield, if not I say give Davies a chance to redeem himself. May as well stick Gordon back in at LW as Bernard didn't really do much last time out.

Pickford
Coleman Keane Holgate Digne
Iwobi Gomes Delph Gordon
DCL Richarlison​
 
I must say a lot depends on what team Leicester shows up with. At times they seem unbeatable, at other times they look like a parish league team. 1-0 Everton
 
2 clean sheets in a row, defence looking as solid as it ever has been. He’s even got the wingers working hard to track back and help out. Plus Pickford hasn’t done anything Pickford like in the last 2 games.

4-0 Leicester.
