Subs: Hamer, Benalouane, Fuchs, James, Gray, Slimani, Ulloa.

 

[Blaarev]

Dragovic at right back then?

Dragovic at right back then?

Or in a back three with Chilwell and Albrighton as wing backs.

 

[Brown Nose]

James on the bench??!!?!?!!??!

I think it looks like 352

Schmeichel
Maguire Morgan Dragovic
Albrighton Ndidi King Chilwell
Mahrez Okazaki
Vardy

Iborra rested?

 

[Miles Away]

Iborra the big question mark.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

looks like a 3-5-2 type thing with chilwell and albrighton dropping back when out of possession no doubt. Pleasantly surprised. Iborra was ****ing shit against Man U so not bothered in the slightest about that - maybe that's why hes been dropped or simply rested due to fatigue.

Iborra is being rested today #LCFC

Maguire seems most likely at right back unless we're changing formation of course.

That would be madness, surely. I predict Dragovic to have an uncomfortable game at right back.

Correct decision really as he was clearly running on empty on Saturday.

 

[City Fan]

Puel must not have been impressed with the shitefest Iborra served up against Man Yoo either then.

He perhaps realised that he is shagged and needs a rest.

Madness why? He's our most mobile central defender and would be perfectly capable there. Dragovic hasn't played there in his life (I recall RL asking an Austrian journalist about it when he joined).

Changing formation would be a good thing but I'm not sure it will happen. If you change formation, surely you have to do some work on it in training. There has been precious little chance for any such work since Saturday.

To ensure that ten of the eleven are playing entirely familiar roles, I'd go with:

Schmeichel
Maguire Dragovic Morgan Chilwell
Ndidi King
Albrighton Okazaki Mahrez
Vardy

James on the bench??!!?!?!!??!

Making up the numbers. With Iborra and Amartey not involved. But thank God Silva will be available soon.

Andy King FFS

The same Andy King who scored in his last start. With Iborra out he’s the next best alternative.

 

[popillius]

Looks like 3 at the back with wing backs to me which is the only real solution to our RB problem.
