Under almost all circumstances, you'd want to have a go at a visiting team, even if they're league leaders and a top side. However, from what we've seen so far this season, the team visiting the King Power this weekend could be the greatest team ever to grace the Premier League. Granted it's far too early to say that for sure, but they do look exceptional.
This in mind - as a one-off match - is it worth parking the bus, lining up with a 5-4-1, playing maximum Pulisball and fighting for a solid 0-0?
All out defence

Don’t you think he’s a modern day teddy Sherringham being played out of position though Joby?

Agree with Mersey (that never happens) in that we need to strike a balance. There's not much to lose any result is a bonus against city. If we go 4-5-1 I would understand that but it would be a bit of a shame in that I think City are vulnerable when you go at them. Equally are defence are just too poor to keep City out so we are going to concede no matter what the formation.
A healthy balance of counter attacking would be good, so let's not play a high line or leave ourselves wide open - let's try and press them, sit deep and then make the counter attacks count
Whatever happens we will lose tomorrow but would prefer to see us go down fighting and giving them a headache than sticking 10 men behind the ball and losing anyway

Oh and Nev , dont tune in for the caraboa cup match on Tuesday. Its not till 19th December. Think Man C might be otherwise engaged in the champions league game next week.
Bring on tomorrow. If Kasper thinks he had it easy against Ireland, tomorrpw could make up for it.

Kevin De Bruyne ............................... imagine N'Golo Kante alongside him. Wow!
I can see Kante moving on again at the end of the season. Man City? Or abroad?

Kante will move on in my opinion to PSG. He's incredibly ambitious and wants to be the best midfielder in the world and playing for the best club in the world which is I think where PSG will get to
Will give him another season at Chelsea before he gets bored of the PL
