Missing this one as I’m catching a bit of winter sun trying to find somewhere showing the game
 
I thought Choudhury came away from the League Cup game with credit and deserved a game - very surprised that this was alongside rather than instead of Ndidi though! It looks like it’s going to be very much on the fullbacks for all the width
 
Amazing that Choudhury is starting
He absolutely deserves to. He was MotM against Manchester City and the only one of our midfielders who shows any intent upon winning back the ball. I think the line up is fine. It's not a million miles away from what I would have picked. I would say that Gray is a little unlucky as he was much improved against Manchester City as well and showed flashes of some lovely attacking football but he's blown so hot and cold this season that dropping him is understandable.

Absolutely. That would be the only difference between this and my selection; Ndidi would have been replaced by Choudhury and I'd have brought in Gray.
 
We’re going to be sitting so deep with our 3 defensive midfielders and still not keep them from scoring
 
Three defensive midfielders FFS

Albrighton, Maddison, Vardy the only remotely attacking players in the side

Try adapting to that load of shit, Jamie........

Yep. He may as well bring a deckchair out on the pitch with him.
 
I still can’t work that out. 4-3-2-1?

Good to see Choudhury start - I was expecting him to be dropped out the squad completely.

Would have preferred Gray in for Ndidi, or even Simpson as RB and Ricardo on the wing instead.
 
It's the inclusion of Ndidi and Choudhury that's the problem. I don't really have any issue with the rest of it at all. The more I think about it though, the more I can see that it needed Gray in for Ndidi to give us at least some sense of forward thinking.
 
It's the sort of team that makes sense if you're ahead or holding out for a point with 20 minutes left.

All it needs is for us to concede an early goal and the line up is dead.

Having said that, when your alternatives are Gray, Diabate, Iheanacho and Ghezzal what the feck can we expect?

I think Gray was effective against Manchester City but he just blows too hot and cold.
 
Any danger if us picking a settled front three or four and let them play together for a few games. No? Why would you eh?
 
We need to stop giving Luiz so much room to pick out a pass
