Hopefully welcome back Kasper and Drinkwater in addition to Simpson. Never an easy place to go but hopefully a stronger team will help confidence. Its time for the players to dig deep with effort/committment in away games and scrap for every point. Im hoping for an improved performance and a battling 1-1 draw Vardy

Don't care how fit Kasper and Drinky are, they must play - we cannot go into another game with Zeiler and King
And given that we have taken one away point out of 24, it might just be an idea to try something different.
I don't really give a shit what it is, but any whacko solution or formation can't be much worse than what we have been serving up so far away from home. It's pathetic

If we're going for the "don't concede first half" it's time for 4-5-1 with attackers on the bench to win us the game later on.
Kasper
Simpson
Morgan
Huth
Chilwell
Albrighton
Amartey
Drinkwater
Mendy
Fuchs
Vardy
Mahrez is a world class player but we're wasting his energy if we start out on the defensive and just playing the long "surprise" ball on the attack. So he's on the bench to come on with Slimani and Okazaki when we decide it's time to play attacking football.

So you'd play Chilwell at left back and Fuchs in midfield?
Yeah. Chilwell is a left back. Fuchs can cover for him and get forward to make the crosses which Vardy can run onto.

Are they deliberately hinting at Kaputska on the bench? Away at Stoke would be some baptism for a player who is, as I recall, not premiership ready.
Sounds like Drinkwater won't be available so I see us lining up as we were at Bournemouth, excepting for the return of Simpson and (maybe) Schmeichel.

Ah, of course. That explains the plural form.
