Pre Match Southampton v Leicester

[camberwell fox]

A Classic 3.00pm Saturday kick off for this one.

Our overall history v Southampton (dating back to 1898 - Leicester Fosse) is:

Games won: 31
Games drawn: 25
Games lost: 24

Last season saw two home wins by the same score line 2-0.

Should we stick to the same line up as away at Norwich (injuries aside) or should Mahrez return to the starting 11?

I don't feel Southampton are as strong a unit as last season but this I think will be our stearnest away challenge thus far this season.

2-1 to Leicester I hope , but a draw would do just fine.

 

[City Fan]

I would go with this:

Schmeichel

Simpson/Huth/Morgan/Fuchs

Drinkwater/Kante

Albrighton/Mahrez/Dyer

Vardy

 

[londonfox]

Okazaki should start. He was very good against Norwich. The problem is where to fit in Mahrez. Riyad has been a star this season but I think I'd go with an unchanged team. Dyer on the bench.

 

[Dour]

Okazaki should start. He was very good against Norwich.

Last time he came back from an international break, he looked very tired and off the pace.

 

[Miles Away]

Same side pending international wear and tear.

If Shinji looks knackered Lenny is an obvious replacement....and will score...because I love him.

 

[Volpone]

Games won: 31
Games drawn: 25
Games lost: 24

I bet the stats for all games away don't look so good.

Grim. Sounds about right though.

Grim. Sounds about right though.

You might even say it sounds exactly right

Wasn't it 5-1?

 

[LCFC'sGodWears9]

Tough game, I'd like to see Ulloa come in (although I don't think he will), I just feel that it could be a game where he would prove very useful.

Hoping for a considerably improved performance than last years (and I think we will get one too) St Mary's outing.

2-2, Vardy and Ulloa for us. Pelle and Tadic for them.

 

[Blaarev]

4-1 Southampton. Peter Shilton

Wasn't it 5-1?

It was 5-1. Tewley, Stringfellow (2), Shilton and Sinclair (not OG).

 

[Volpone]

It was 5-1. Tewley, Stringfellow (2), Shilton and Sinclair (not OG).

Correct. I had it in my mind that we lost away at Southampton and Shilts scored the only goal.

I see we beat them 4-1 in the home fixture Well it was nearly 50 years ago!

I predict a wee bit rain delaying the kick off for an hour before the referee gives it the ok to go ahead and 90 mins of absolute shite.

 

[Motown Fox]

As long as the rains not that bad that the game's abandoned after twenty odd minutes with Vardy swiming down the left wing chasing a ball shouting Woy Woy I'm not a winger.
