Very happy with that starting g XI. It worked against Palace so no need to change the outfield players.

 

[Graz]

Right decision I think.

Hope to see a good showing from Slimani and Mahrez today

With Islami up front, I'd prefer to see Albrighton on the right as he's a better crosser of the ball. I'm sure Musa is there for his pace.

I keep hearing this thought process but haven't most of Slimani's goals come from Mahrez assists?

So would I. But he wouldn't play on the right. He'd be on the left and keep having to cut back thus negating any benefit of an early cross.

And one from Fuchs.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Good strong line-up. I hope Kasper has told Zieler to shout at the defence.

Okazaki good starter. Plenty of pace. Should be able to rip them up.

Vardy on as super-sub after 60-70 minutes when the Baggies defence is tiring.

 

[Orifice]

Is we winning yet?

 

[NYC Fox]

No it's a bit of ping pong in the opening exchanges.

 

[Graz]

Win this and we would go 8th after Watford got hammered early.

Would be a good way to go into the international break

 

[East Anglia Fox]

Zieler looks dodgy as hell.

WBA are playing better than us at the moment. We're pushed too far back, Mahrez isn't looking sharp and the passing from the back is all long so far.

 

[Polar Bear]

Early sloppiness from us almost lets WBA in a couple of times, but then we come to life, Slimani close to getting his head on dangerous crosses from Mahrez and Fuchs.

 

[Motown Fox]

Mahrez challenged straight away all the time and 2 on him sometimes too.

 

[NYC Fox]

Better stuff - Mahrez has found his crossing boot.

 

[Polar Bear]

Another good cross from Mahrez, he's looking dangerous despite the close attention. Slimani can't quite get enough on it.

 

[NYC Fox]

WBA take a free kick given for offside 10 yards in the Leicester half... dafuq?

 

[Motown Fox]

So much of our play is breaking down as we get near to their box, quite a bit of it when Musa has the ball

 

[Graz]

Mahrez is playing well, looks most likely to make stuff happen

We're looking better as the half has gone on, but let's get one before half time while we're gaining the momentum
