Pre Match Leicester v Burnley

[Jeff]

I'd like to see the same team that started against Spurs. But I expect there'll be some tinkering.

Fuchs or Chilwell?

Fuchs or Chilwell?

Probably.

 

[bloo]

When did we sign him?

 

[Lako42]

Fuchs doesn't get back into the team unless someone is seriously injured or flogged.

 

[Miles Away]

Would be disappointed to see Chilwell lose his place.

Shinji too. Although I could see a case for Gray or Slimani as Burnley will defend very differently from Spurs.

We don’t play until next Saturday after this, so no tinkering for me.

Same team and i think same result but maybe 2-0 Vardy Iborra

 

[SJN-Fox]

Another chance to take points off of a top 6 side. No doubt Chris Wood will be looking forward to scoring against us too. Keep the same side as Tuesday and get at them from the start.

 

[Blaarev]

2-0 Leicester. Glover, Stringfellow.

Burnley have the same record in last 5 games as Man Utd, won 4, lost 1. It's not going to be as easy as I might have thought before the season started, as Burnley really improved their 'away' form this year.

 

[Miles Away]

They are a bastard to play against. And, yes, Wood is a genuine threat.

 

[jb5000]

That Sean Dyche has done a magic job, wonder how it'll translate now that he's at a top-6 club

Chilwell was the best player on display against Spurs in my opinion. Seemed to have a new air of confidence about him. Some of his runs were so good I almost thought he was wasted at left back.

I think we need to start with the same line up. This is going to be an interesting game as Burnley are flying and I quite fancy them to pinch a champions league place. We are only 8 behind them and can make three of those up at the weekend

 

[SJN-Fox]

Burnley were the first team to beat us at the new "Walkers Stadium" after making us change ends and play towards the Kop in the first half.

 

[Brown Nose]

Burnley are massively overachieving. They are getting a ridiculous points return for their attacks/goals. It cannot continue for much longer.

They are tough and they're brilliantly drilled though. And they have someone who is proving to be a excellent manager.

They will target our weaknesses defensively and we have the talent to create chances against them.

First goal is absolutely vital.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Fuchs or Chilwell depends upon whether Burnley have a really good right winger or not.

Chilwell is great going forwards, but Fuchs is still probably the better defender.

A big call for Puel as Chilwell probably gives us better attacking options.

I would definitely start Shinji.

No chance.

They’ve had a great start and deserve due credit. But I think they’ll end up much closer to, if not in, the bottom half.

That was what most people said about us two years ago.

Just what I was thinking.

 

[Miles Away]

Spurs, Arsenal, and Liverpool are massively flawed. Even Chelsea have the odd wobble. While it's unlikely I think an outsider, like Burnley, could nick the 4th spot.
