Maybury right wing.

 

[Blaarev]

Kaebi anywhere, and captaining the side.

 

[Lako42]

Pack the **** up you imbeciles.

I need to reiterate how much Puel has got me up for today's game.


His chatter is as exciting as his dead football style

Hard to tell what it will be when it has been so random but I predict:

An unusual back 5 in Kasper in goal, Ricardo and Chilwell as full backs either side of Morgan and Maguire.

There will be further surprises in 2 holding midfielders in Mendy and Wilf.

The crazy stuff will continue in attack with one out and out striker, Vardy and 3 attacking mids with Maddison behind in the middle and Albrighton & Gray* interchanging out wide.

So hard to decide though as Puel has so many different systems he plays with such variation.

*Gray could be replaced with Barnes being recalled but it isn't that hard to predict the line up or the vast majority of starting 11.
