What team would you play?
Assume Fern, KDB and Mendy are unavailable.

This is a tough one to pick. If either fern or kdb end up fit I’d have them in for sane. If they are not I’m torn between leaving it as it was or bringing in someone to patrol the midfield, question is who can do that?

Is it official with Mendy? Is he injured again?

Not kompany we need some pace at the back for vardy.

Same front 6 as yesterday i assume?

hoping fern gets fit b/c i don't fancy gundo for this one. at all.

Stones should play. He’s the quickest of our CBs. Apart from Vardy Tielemans is a very good player and needs watching. Great pity if Fernandinho not fit. Bit premature to rule him out? Chilwell will be interesting to watch. Linked with City. So Ederson Walker Stones Laporte Zinchenko Gundogan Silva Bernardo Sterling Aguero Sane. I know Zinchenko and Sane didn’t play well but I’d give them another chance. Walkers pace gets him in ahead of Danilo.

That's probably the team I'd pick. But I would consider Walker at centre-half and Danilo at right back. And then not bother and go with your team instead.

pick the team we want to play and let leicester worry about us

We have to play our normal game that we normally play at home ,attacking football and quick attacking football at that....lets not be fucking around playing safe like we saw that first half against Burnley - it was a wasted non eventful 45 minutes of shit football.

Also ,If we play Kompany at the back then we will be 100% in trouble as he isn't quick enough to deal with Leicesters attacking threat - we need walker , stones , laporte and Zinch at the back - Gundo in front - sterling on the right , Berni in the middle with D. Silva and Sane then Aguero up front.

That has to be the team IMO.

Spot on.
We are top of the PL for a reason, we are the home side and we know a victory takes us to within touching distance of retaining the trophy.

Mike Dean refereeing. RuhRoh.

Ederson
Walker Nico Laporte Zinchenko
Gundogan
Bernardo Silva Foden Sane
Aguero

It will be alot of matches for him recently and he looked out of sorts last match and Ive decided to chalk that up to fatigue.
I know its a big call as Leicester are going to be tricky and Sane did fuck all last match.

Raz could have scored a couple vs Burnley. Pep won’t drop our best players with two matches remaining.

Our under 21s would beat Leicester , oh wait they did twice in the Carabao cup ..............

Jesus did more in 10 minutes than Sane did in 70, he looks hungry. And you can say Sane had Zinch shitting the bed behind him but so did Jesus and he looked dangerous as fuck. Play him interchanging with Kun on that left and I think we’ll do alright.

Yet he still missed from 8 yards in a must win match.
