Pre Match Leicester City vs West Ham United. New year's Eve

[FIF]

Can we call the last game of 2016 a must win game?

Probably not but a loss or draw will be another terrible result.

Mahrez to stay on the bench. Gray and Chilwell to keep their starting positions.

It's time for the transition of Chilwell into our starting LB and Fuchs to take Albrighton's midfield spot. Upfront I have no idea as everyone seems to be poor. So a new duo suggested.

 

[Blaarev]

4-1 Leicester. Hazell, Lynex (2), Lineker.

Don't think Benny can play until 2nd January at the earliest.

It'd be nice just to know that he can play.

West Ham have come into form. This is going to be tough even if we are up to standard. I'm not confident BUT we've shown of late that we have a vague recollection of how to play so who knows.

I can see Ulloa starting, dunno about Drinkwater. Fuchs back to position, he's defensively more solid than Chilwell. Gray to start too, but maybe for Albrighton. At lot depends on how Mahrez responds in training.

For me, the question is will Mendy get a run?

 

[SilverFox]

Our team is a bit shit. 3-1 loss.

West Ham beat the worst team in the league, that isn't form.

 

[Robin127]

And they were very lucky to beat Hull in their previous game.

 

[FIF]

but they're above us.

 

[yackandandah]

Ok then I'll rephrase - West Ham are taking points from teams more shit than them. No, that's not form of any kind.

Why?

Have a guess

He doesn't fancy it?

I dont think Benaloune is on the playing list so forget him for this game . Id pair Huth and Armarty in central defence. As good as Chilwell played id bring back Fuchs back (for his throwins and crosses. Slimani has rightly been criticised lately but prvide him with crosses (like simpson to Ulloa on Monday) and he will score goals, Mendy/Drinkwater centrally and Gray Mahrey wide , also try Musa up front. They have had a couple of decent results lately so hopefully a bit over confident and not defensively minded. We need to step up our form to the Man City level , do that and we can win this 2-1 Slimani 2

Maybe we could beat them with 11 players.

Maybe we could beat them with 11 players.

Has someone suggested we don't play with 11 players?

I haven't heard everyone's suggestions.
