How to fill that N’didi sized hole? We have to try and keep control of this game in a way that we didn’t against Burnley.
N’didi is actually back in training and could feature in the match day squad. Great he’s made such a speedy recovery.
Apparently not quick enough for this game though unless he’s being saved for later games:
Schmeichel
Ricardo, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell
Mendy, Tielemans
Perez, Maddison, Barnes
Vardy
... that’s if Danny is to be believed

An interesting match, our reserves beat them last time but they’ve now got the new Manager bounce.
Finely balanced.

I think Ndidi will be brought back in.
If not, I’d play Mendy and basically have roughly the above team but would bring in Nacho for Perez

Hopefully Tielemans will be fresher after a bit of a rest. As for Mendy, he can do a job to an extent but can't provide the kind of cover Ndidi does on his own. Having a player next to him would likely help on that front, although it would mean Tielemans putting in a shift and doing a lot of thankless work in order to help the 3 play.
I'd be very nervous to see Wilf, either from the start or from the bench. And KTF1, I can't work out what formation you're playing with that. I agree with Black/Brown/WhateverColourHeIsToday Starr that formations aren't everything, but there has to be something identifiable out there. Unless you're planning to play Iheanacho on the right wing, in which case I disagree muchly and fear that has more chance of regressing him than working.

Stop doing this to me Joby. It will be 4-1-4-1 if it’s those players like it was against Burnley.
Tielemans is proper pants when he plays deep.

What are you talking about?
Schmeichel is the lone striker!

Play Mendy and Tielemans as a pair but with different roles and then Barnes, Nacho and Maddison in behind as a interchangeable 3 behind Vardy.

As far as I’m concerned we don’t play with wingers

I wouldn't put Iheanacho in that role. I reckon you're better off giving Gray a shot at that.

Nacho is a 9 or 10 and nothing else. Ever!
Tielemans should never be a defensive midfielder. Ever.
Maddison should never be a wide striker. Ever.
Perez should never be an anything. Ever.

Joby I owe you an apology - we did set up 4-2-3-1!!
As they say here in Liverpool - I’ve had my eye wiped (still no idea what it’s about but basically I was wrong!).
