[Miles Away]

Mendy!

No Chilwell (even on the bench) or Youri.

 

[City Fan]

Chilwell and Choudhury not even on the bench!

Would have preferred Albrighton ahead of Perez, but happy Fuchs and Mendy are in.

 

[Blaarev]

Mendy!

Youri on the bench. Chilwell nowhere to be seen

 

[Brown Nose]

Chilwell and Choudhury injured.

I cannot comprehend no Iheanacho.

Barnes again?!?! Jesus.

 

[SilverFox]

Chilwell deserves dropping to be fair. He must know that.

 

[H T B]

Isn’t that the team Sean from Enderby “released” yesterday?

 

[Graz]

Wow, wheres Chilwell?

Good chance for Mendy, hope he takes it. Not sure he's the same type of defensive midfielder as Ndidi or Hamza though.

Come on Leicester, could really do with a win today and good results around us yesterday to take advantage of

 

[Jenks]

Must admit I was groaning when I saw Barnes. But happy with Chilwell out.

Thank **** Chilwell is nowhere near the team. Mendy is an interesting one but something needed to happen with Tielemans being so out of form and Praet being a little hit and miss so hopefully it will pay off. I'm not convinced he's good enough from what we have seen but time will tell. Iheanacho a little unlucky but I don't think you can play Vardy and him together and it's a brave man who leaves out Vardy. I wouldn't.

Worked alright when we beat villa 4-1

Not at all surprised to see Mendy playing. Choudhury was unfortunately woeful last weekend. Ndidi is being sorely missed especially with a lack of form for other central midfielders.

[Feriol]

The team is very light weight, we are going to struggle with Burnley's physicality.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Not sure how Tielemens can be tired. Not played much for 3 weeks. Liverpool’s players seem to cope quite well with more games than us.
To me, Tielemans doesn’t look fit, similarly to last season for a couple of months. Odd considering his age.

100% agree. Prepare for an aerial bombardment.

The scoreline did not reflect the fact that we were actually pretty average in that game. It was the first of this run of poorer performances. I don't know for sure whether it would work or not but my instinct is that it would be very difficult to make playing both of them work well enough.

 

[TommyK]

Pleased Mendy is in. I actually think he's a better defensive midfield option than Choudhury. Not that I think Choudhury is a bad player. I think he's better for a sort of defensive Madison. Closing down players further up the pitch.

 

[bocadillo]

Chilwell injured.

SkySports says "rested".
