chicken 2,604 Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Early I know, but hopefully will give plenty of time for team predictions for both sides and tactics Farke may employ against a different opposition. Kick off is 3pm.PinkUn Team News Very brief sum up; Mumba(dislocated knee) and Placheta(covid recovery) out, Tzolis(calf) a doubt and Sargent(glute) 'minor question mark'.Sky Sports match preview For Leicester info - sum up; Vestergaard and Evans remain out with injuries. Perez suspended. Former Norwich loanee Bertrand in contention to start. Edited August 28, 2021 by chicken 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East Rider 548 Posted August 28, 2021 Now off 'up he city'for pre match meet ups. My prediction is 0-0 till Vardy dives for a pen 5 minutes from the end. Obviously saved by TK. 2nd minute of injury time, one of the new boys puts it in for city. NCFC 1 - Divers 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,675 Posted August 28, 2021 Just hope and pray our players are up for it and go attacking. Leicester defence as it is right now has been proven to be their biggest weakness. They still have a strong midfield and some very good attackers (I also pray Vardy wont start against us..) and there is no doubt they will be doing all they can to try and finish in the top six this seaosn.. But we know they are weak at the back and that we have a good record against them in recent years. Should be fun, but if we just roll over and give up should they score agaisnst us as we did against Man City I won't be pleased Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 2,604 Posted August 28, 2021 Tzolis is injured sadly. Still, the warnings have been sounded. McLean and Williams straight in. Sargent lurking. Tzolis in the squad for the next game I suspect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,932 Posted August 28, 2021 McLean definitely deserved a step up. Suppose it makes sense putting Williams in - I really want to see Giannoulis and Tzolis together, personally, and would not be too surprised if Farke's thinking that. Which raises a question, would Williams and Cantwell have played together frequently in the England U21s? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted August 28, 2021 Shame he’s injured, the Quantum of Tzolis looked exciting mid week. Sargent a good option from the bench and McLean fully deserving of his place. That back 4 of Leicester is there to be got at but today will really test our defending of counter attacks OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As true as that is, I just think a striker who got 2 goals mid week (regardless of opposition) should be put into the side. Also at this stage I have a feeling Pukki would serve us better as a 65th minute impact sub. Although as I've now said that I'm sure Teemu will go and bang in a hat-trick today. 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All the Germans 1,075 Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Why do they persist with Albrighton? I must be missing something but running around a lot is all he ever does. I would expect a team trying to be in the top four (but ultimately will not be as the top 4 looks rock solid) to be looking for more quality. I wouldn't start him in our team. Yes, yes, I know I've just completely jinxed it and he will have a blinder. Edited August 28, 2021 by All the Germans 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
