Another win!

LCFC Injury list

Timothy Castagne - a late drop out from the Watford game with a muscle injury.

Jamie Vardy - injured his hamstring, then played through it against Liverpool. Could be out into March.

Jonny Evans - another thigh injury, this time into April. Age may be getting to both.

Ricardo Pereira - strange to believe that a broken leg was good news, but could even be back by February.

Ryan Bertrand - pulled out of the Man City warm up with a knee problem. Could be back this month.

Wesley Fofana - was expected back early this year, but rumours of a setback...

Boubakary Soumare - out through illness, and would have missed this game too so not a minor one

Four currently competing in the AFCON.


COYS!!!

On their track record and Arse’s feeble excuses for postponement this will be off too. Our next game is in April!
 
At least it's on TV so makes up for postponement of the gooner game. We must look to get a decent points tally from our games in hand.

Judging by that 80, another postponement coming up!
 
As indicated earlier in the thread, Leicester are seriously depleted due to injury, illness, and ACON. If they don't manage to con the PL and get it postponed it's going to be a really good time to play them, let's hope the players show the desire to take full advantage of the situation.

With the help of Leicestershire Live, here is how the Leicester squad is shaping up ahead of the clash.

Fit: Kasper Schmeichel, Danny Ward, Jannik Vestergaard, Caglar Soyuncu, Luke Thomas, Hamzah Choudhury, Youri Tielemans, James Maddison, Kieran Dewsbury-Hall, Marc Albrighton, Ayoze Perez, Harvey Barnes, Ademola Lookman, Patson Daka, James Justin

Injured: Ricardo Pereira, Timothy Castagne, Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana, Ryan Bertrand, Jamie Vardy

AFCON : Daniel Amartey, Nampalys Mendy, Wilfried Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho

Ill : Boubakary Soumare

The thing is they could still line up with a strong first eleven:

Schmeichel
Justin, Vestergaard, Soyuncu, Thomas
Tielemans, Choudhury, Barnes
Maddison
Perez, Lookman

Not necessarily in that tactical shape because they have a good few versatile footballers in midfield and attack.

They also haven't played a league game since the 28 December so there's no problem with fatigue.

Even with their absentees I'm still expecting a very tough game.
 
Tough one, they beat The red bin dippers 1-0 last game and could have had more, we drew with the bin dippers 2-2 and might have counted ourselves fortunate.

So much will depend on how we line up at the back; without Dier my confidence is low, especially without Sonny as well.

Leicester look like they'll have a few returning. We will probably have Japhet and Sanchez at the back (scary)., although it now looks like Japhet will be dropped for Rodon.

So I think we'll do well to scrape a draw here.
 
Their defence is always the weaker in the absence of Jonny Evans, a much underrated defender in my opinion. We will need to be wary of Vestergaard at set pieces, we have to try and avoid giving away corners and free kicks in our defensive third.
