Pre Match Leicester v Huddersfield

[M17TT C]

Sign 3 central defenders. Play none of them. Concede four goals at Bournemouth. Keep one (fortunate) clean sheet in 5.

Can’t imagine why fans would be clamouring for a change of defensive personnel?

It's Huddersfield
It's at home
They've only scored 2 goals this season

No need to pack the defense here.

3-0 Huddersfield then.

We do like the kiss of death, don't we?

I didn’t mention packing it. Wouldn’t mind seeing it actually organized though.

We haven’t had a defensive leader since Huth got injured

'Kiss o' Death' T-shirt - could overprint the design on a City shirt?

“It is just James who is not fit. All the other players are available. For the moment, he is resting after his surgery and we will see, step by step, when he can come back with us”.

I swear this has been the injury news for about the last four years. Puel has probably mastered it in decent English by now.

o Leicester City have won eight of their last nine league games against Huddersfield (D1), netting 25 goals in the process.
o Leicester have won each of their last seven home league meetings versus Huddersfield – the Foxes’ longest current winning streak of that kind against any side in the league.
o Huddersfield’s last league victory against Leicester was back in November 1995 (3-1). However, they did win an FA Cup tie at the King Power Stadium back in February 2013.
o Leicester have lost their last two Premier League games. It’s their fifth run of consecutive losses under manager Claude Puel, but they haven’t lost three in a row since a run of five under Claudio Ranieri in February 2017.
o Huddersfield have failed to score in 55.8% of their total Premier League games (24/43), the highest such ratio for any team to have played in the competition.
o Huddersfield have won just one of their last 15 Premier League games (D6 L8), scoring just five goals in that run and never more than once in a game.
o Since the start of last season, Leicester have been shown more Premier League red cards than any other side in the competition (7).
o Four of Leicester’s eight Premier League goals this season have come in the 88th minute or later.
o Huddersfield have found the net in each of their last three away games, their best such streak in the Premier League.
o Jamie Vardy has found the net in both of his last two league appearances against Huddersfield, including the opener in a 2-1 victory at the King Power in October 2013

 

[Skitzo]

the possibility of not playing Maguire was brought up in the press conference, with Wes out I cannot see him doing it

That's shocking.

Forget all further talk of team selection. It shouldn't matter.

 

[M17TT C]

As someone said in t'other thread - nailed on 3 nil win for Huddersfield with these stats!

 

[City Fan]

That's shocking.

Forget all further talk of team selection. It shouldn't matter.

I hope our players don’t have the same attitude.

 

[dpjfox]

Need a solid good peformance that should be good enoughto win this 2-0 Vardy 2

 

[big_mac4824]

hopefully Maddison will tear them apart ,really want to see him run at people and free up nacho and vardy.

Ricardo NDidi Mendy Chilwell
Maddison
Vardy Iheanacho

The preview in the Guardian seems convinced that Soyuncu will mke his debut, have those who've seen him running out with the academy been impressed?

 

[Skitzo]

Why was it mentioned?

England players needed a rest due to shortened summer break

The preview in the Guardian also had King as one of the subs.
