I like that line up, do you think Poch would go for it though?

Could possibly see Lamela for Llorente instead (not what I would want though)

Yea that’s the line up I think poch will choose.

Me I’d probably drop out a CB and play Lucas instead in a 4213 type of formation

Think that will be the team he will play no place for dier in midfield if with play 3 central defenders, be to negative.

Not keen on trippier or aurier don’t think either are good enough. Trippier will need help from Sanchez to keep demari Gray quiet .

Tough game this one Leicester were decent against Man Utd and got a point at Liverpool.

Hoping we will edge it 2-1 👍

Lily white

Grey and vardy they have some great pace especially with Maddison around them with a eye for a pass.

Hopefully Puel does something stupid and drops a few off them

I think Tripper is alright when we have a back 3 and Toby is covering him. This lets us use his attacking threat and his main asset of getting forward and putting in crosses.

Otherwise I agree, both our RB are pretty rubbish.

Tricky game.... Despite being the weakest of the 3 Sanchez has to start given the pace of Vardy & Gray. With that said, i don't like either but Id start Aurier over Trips given his lack of pace & is so weak defensively. Chillwell is a real attacking threat down their left too.
Don't think there's much to chose between Sissoko & Dier right now. I'd rather start Lamela over L'lorente and use him off the bench if needed.... remember Lamela playing really well in a high scoring fixture vs them late last season

good line up and not an awful bench either

We assuming Rose can play v Leicester and Dortmund? I would hope so given the break before and after.

If he can't then it's bit of a serious issue he has with fitness and regardless of how good he is we would need to look into a new LB - we can't have a LB that can only play every other game.

Not really a fan of that lineup against Leicester.

They will play with Vardy up top. Seems pointless to have 3 CBs marking one pace-man.

They will sit deep and try and frustrate us, much like NUFC did.

I would rather we had Dier in DM, who can drop back into a three (allowing the FBs to push forward) Who can sit deep and keep an eye on Maddison. Rest one of Sisokko or Winks, alongside Eriksen in the CM.

Llorente has to start with Son & Lamela buzzing around him. May be Lucas although against such deep sitting organised teams, his threat is reduced.

Liverpool were not that great against LCFC but still had 72% possession. Llorente provides that aerial option that can overcome a packed defence.

I personally would give KWP a go at right back.

I know that he made an error with the handball in his last game, but I think he responded really well after that (just like he did in the Barca game). He's pacy and aggressive. I think he's a better shout than Trippier.

Will Leicester sit back? I'm not sure Puel sets them up like that.

Surprised so many opting for Lamela.

Think he’s been awful since his little bit of good form early in the season.

Although I suppose you could say that about Lucas too

its a toss up between the two tbh.... Lucas off the bench.

what about former black stars?

I’d go Lucas ( from the right ) because I think he’s more effective getting past players than Lamela.

Also Lucas is a actually goal threat.

true on the flip side Lamela gives you that intensity high up the pitch... closing down / good fouls to stop breaks etc....

lesta I think will play on the break, so could be a useful to have him from the start, with lucas to come on and use his pace later in the game...

True but when you have so few goal threats in the side then I’m not sure you want to waste a position solely for work rate.

If we had Kane, Son & dele in the side then yea Lamela workrate is good as 3 other natural goalscorers in the team.

Although I think poch will bench both anyway
