Leicester got so many injuries, surely we can get a win against this 11.

He gives the excuse/reason bringing players who are fresh is better. He trusts lucas defensive duties over Bergwijn and son too good not to start

Fair play to Serge again.

Would've been nice to see Jan start but can't change a winning team.

Because Son or Lucas don't deserve to get dropped on current form maybe?

You sound like one of the media. Jose can't start 15 players.

Foyth, Tanganga and Sessegnon all on the bench and Alli supposedly back next game.

Do we actually have a fully fit squad?!

Aurier starting again?

Wow thought he was flying off after last game.

Top commitment there, maybe playing helps him take his mind off things too.

Lucas has been decent these last 2 games but Bergwijn is so much better and he proved that vs Newcastle

Because he’s managed to turn Lucas into a defensive winger in record time.

Bergwijn will get a start when he ups his tackles per game ratio.

And the changes worked last time, Steve came off the bench and got an assist, why upset the balance and change a winning team?

This is exactly what Jose was referring to in the week, it's not about the starting eleven it's about the team, everyone plays a role.

Yes.
Picked up an injury before the Newcastle game, and wasn't expected back this season

Yep that’s how to judge an attacking player.

Don't see how anybody can justify dropping Moura after his last 2 games, even if Bergwijn got the assist which is testament to how well Moura been playing.

Leicester defence in particular the CB’s are very slow. Son & Lucas need to take advantage of this

Glad Lucas has kept his place. He hasn't be the greatest in terms of end product, but he is one of the hardest working in terms of both attacking and defensive duties. Would be daft to drop him now that Mou has seemingly found a good position for him.

If we can get in behind I can see us causing them loads of problems today. That defence seems very getatable.

That will require someone to deliver creative and precise attacking passes to them. Through balls. Balls over the top. Recently, the main source of those has been Kane when he drops back into midfield. We know Ndombele can do them, but he's injured. I'm waiting for Lo Celso to show that he has the creative passing ability to play as a no.10.

We need Toby to get his head up and hit some of those 60-70 yarders he used to play in the Poch days.

They would usually be aimed in the direction of Dele, whose ability to anticipate and make the right run is missing at present. Son and Kane can do that, if they can get free of the Leicester back four.
