They finished 5th last season for a reason, they should’ve finished higher but for a dip in form at the end of the season cost them. This won’t be an easy game, far from it, they’re an established Premier League now Unfortunately for Leicester. both Soyunco & Evans have sustained injury while on International duty. Our third choice CB Daniel Amartey was already injured so now we may need to rely on 19 year old Wesley Fofana & a 36 year old Wes Morgan. Could be a long 90 minutes for Leicester. 4 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 We are powerful lions. Leicester are puny foxes. We should win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While some in the media might talk about the length of grass it was obvious to anyone watching we took them apart tactically. The stuff with Leeds is mainly just online fans as opposed to the players and staff. I think they’ve been over praised personally and they are going to get a tonking from someone sooner or later. Leeds remind me of us last season in that between their lines there's so many holes for us to exploit. We're going to dish out a few pastings. Leicester the spaces are usually down their sides and in behind. Soyuncu's speed allows them that luxury. I genuinely believe we'll beat them because they don't have their first choice CB's.

Sulberto21 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) We've got no reason to fear anyone this season. We've got so many weapons of our own. Even Cash can bang a few in. Vardy is dangerous if allowed to run. If we allow them the ball and break in behind we'll hurt them. No Evans and no Soyuncu is like no Allison and Mane level absences. Edited October 15, 2020 by Sulberto21 Bleeding autocorrect changed Vardy for Barry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) We're Villa, we've just beaten the champions 7-2. We all know what's happening on Sunday, 4-1 loss incoming. Edited October 15, 2020 by wedge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds will be exposed, all it will take is an off day, a slight drop in physical intensity or the absence of a couple of key players and they will get a hammering. It will be interesting to see if they take a couple what happens to their belief. We need to approach Leicester as we did Liverpool, invite them onto us smother them and hit them wide early and get behind them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i'm confident we can play slightly differently or not initially that way and change our strategy throughout the match. I think this is what we can do now we have strengthened our first team. Guess we will soon see but it's a great opportunity to get something from the crisp packet stadium! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post colhint Posted October 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2020 Just Looked at the Leicester forum, I think they see it much like us, Tight game, could go anyway. Loved this comment though Can't wait to go back to thinking Grealish is an overrated cheating **** rather than wishing he was in the England team. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be winning this then. The stars really are aligning so far this season. edit: I just googled Wesley Fofona. Desperate times if you have to field a rugby player in defence!

Wow, a long injury list for Leicester then! No Ndidi either which is a big loss. After the hammerings you dished out to us last season it would be nice karma for us to return the favour. More than likely it will be tight though even with your injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted October 15, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2020 I think this will be a score draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I’d take a draw to be fair, even with their injuries Leicester are a very good side. That said though, we should be buzzing with confidence and well up for this. I won’t be surprised to see us win, with Rodgers bemoaning injuries in his post match comments.

Dodgyknees Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Leicester are a very good team. I think this will be harder than Liverpool as Leicester won't underestimate us. I would be happy with a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted October 15, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2020 Dunno if it's because of the empty stadiums thing, but we are getting so many wacky results this season that every match is getting harder to predict. It feels like this one could end up with an emphatic win for either side. So probably a dull nil-nil, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndidi is a massive loss for Leicester but Papy Mendy is playing very well as a defensive midfielder for us at the moment. He has been one of our best players so far.

The funny thing is the Praet & Tielemans play better together than with Maddison even though Maddison is probably the better player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
