Closed Leicester v Chelsea

[Adnane 1,101]

Zouma should cope with Vardy's pace, and Azpi won't get as owned as the rest of the league by Mahrez.

That's pretty much their only strenghts.

Our only opponent is ourselves on this one, counter-attacking football is dangerous against us, it all depends on our line-up, mostly on Cesc's presence, if he is there, I can see us dominating and losing, if he isn't, I can see us pressing them high, not necessarily having much of the ball but getting break opportunities.

People forget that Leicester are 0-2-1 against the best oppositions, drawing against Tottenham, sharing points with United and giving away 5 GOALS against Arsenal at home, that's really a poor big games record for a title contender, so if people consider them so, well, they aren't, they have done an absolutely amazing job at beating everyone else, of all the non top 6 teams, this Leicester side must have the best one over the last 10-15 years, but they are yet to face Everton, Liverpool, City and ourselves in this first part of the season and had bad results against the other big guys..

They are doing the best you can do as a non Top 6 side, but that's it, they are the best of the rest until they gain enough points from their next 4...

Yay we wont be in the relegation zone time we play this.Lowest we can go is 16th if the other 2 win

I have a gut feeling that we will get a win here. Leicester seem to play open attacking football, putting pressure on high up the pitch, and this could leave them open to our counter- attack, which is awesome when on form.

If we have positive confidence and attitude we will win this. I'll go for a 2-1 victory........But if my gut is wrong I'll be off on another RANT

Hahaha losing to Leicester wont mind so much as they've been good and top of the league and plus away game.Losing to teams around us/not showing up grrr.Hopefully we'll put in a performance rather then just stroll

Down to 15th now, no thanks to United.

I wanted Bournemouth to win. Even it means us dropping below them. We draw or win on Monday, we go back above them and even though the table looks dim, I would not completely put it past us to catch United. They have way too many injuries, have to compete in Uefa Europa League and seem to have reached a stumbling block. Although we won the title last season, there was a point where we were IIRC 12 points ahead of them at one stage and they caught up with us on the same points.

We still have United to play home and away. Football is an odd game.

Here's a fun fact - We have won more games (5) than Manchester United (3) in the last 12 games in all competitions.

Utd fans at work are more negative than a lot on here. They dont rate LVG and wish Moyes had been given longer - Harking back to Scholes, Ruud, Keane days.

Reckon we'll put "and Leicester" in their place...

That's even better than the Sturridge one

Fabregas must NOT start this match! Either play him at CAM or not have him there at all!

Would rather have Ramires playing at CM alongside Matic because at least Ramires can track back and use his stamina to get the ball and start a counter attack. Only downside to Ramires is that his discipline can overcome him, and he can get cautioned easily!

But rather Ramires than Fabregas.. seriously, If Jose starts Fabregas...

[Jase 43,479]

Down to 16th now, 2 places and 1 point above the relegation zone.

:lol:

We have been done a huge favour by Newcastle and WBA (shame they could not hang on for the win). All the main rivals for top 4 messed up. United, Liverpool, Spurs. We just have to take advantage tomorrow. No draw. A win, win, win! Knowing Spurs always slip up, United are playing awful and Leicester, I assume will go off form eventually, top 4 is not unrealistic.

[Special Juan 28,122]

I honestly think we will be turned over against these with ease tomorrow.

0-0 draw written all over it - 11 men behind the ball...
