    Hopefully we can pick up a win here at 3 against Leicester.

    Cant see anything other than 3-5-2 but I'm hoping we go 3-4-3 with Willian on the right, Kante and Cesc in CM.

    Leicester will be a very tricky game anyway, theyre in good form of late.

    2nd! Which incidentally I'd happily settle for this season.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    As mentioned, I am struggling to see where goals will come from today :o

    Here's hoping Morata comes good today, another game without a goal will only add to his lack of composure & confidence.

    Mahrez might feel like putting on some sort of decent display today, with a few clubs watching him closely no doubt.

    Sanchez would be cheaper for right now but in the long term, I'm surprised we havent made a move for Mahrez.

    I suppose it depends on what valuation Leicester put on him, the fact we managede to steal Kante from them for 32 million, in todays market is absolute madness.

    A win puts us into second for a few days anyway, Utd will batter Stoke at Old Trafford on Mondy night.

    Big game is Pool v City tomorrow, seeing as City have the league wrapped up, its better for us, fighting for 4th , that they beat Pool tomorrow.

    Oh absolutely, I can't imagine they'd make the same mistake twice for sure.

    He has quite a lot to offer a top team. With top players around him, I can only imagine he'd reach another level again. Seeing similar players leave their respective clubs and go onto bigger and better things must be making him wonder...

    I'd guess 50-60m would be his price in this market, he'd also be eligible for the CL which is worth another few bob on his price. Hes 27 in a few weeks, you'd get, 4 or 5 year sout of him, hes not a player that relys heavily on pace anyway so I could see him being a left footed Pedro, great technique and little body feints to make space for himself.

    I'd take him anyway if the opportunity came up.

    I'm not hapy with that XI at all, I really cant stand the 3-5-2 formation, its not attacking enough, IMO.

    I also cant see why Cahill is playing centre of the back 3, unless Conte is worried about Vardys pace but I'd have put Christensen in there, assuming hes not hurt, all day.

    I think having 2 Cbs on the bench too is a bit overkill, Luiz is likely to come CM if something happens though, Drinkwater and Bakayoko have been stinking the place up the last few games between them.

    3-5-2!!! No Christensen too, I hope we don't live to regret that. He's well able for Vardy. Bakayoko isn't going to set the world on fire at all. If I was Leicester I'd be very happy with the XI/formation.

    Just seems such a dull XI, almost can tell the pace of the game before it even kicks off.

    Good by Morata, follow up corner was woeful.

    We're dropping points today here anyway, theres no fight in the time, they look very jaded and hes not rotated enough.

    This 352 is a painful and killing the team.
