When is dembele back

 

[Mr Pink]

Would feel more confident for this if Dembele was back but I don't think he will be despite Poch saying he was close the other day. Probably Palace away before we see him I reckon.

This will be a really tough game but in a a way I think the game on Sunday will ensure there's no complacency now.

We know what their tactics will be so patience will be key but we have to do better with our final ball. I think Davies is better suited for this type of game than Rose. He's technically better and has a much better eye for a pass and cross. He doesn't posses Rose's dynamism or tenacity but given that Leicester will sit deep having another technical type who can spot a pass is definitely the way to go.

Actually think they're both very good full backs, just have different strengths and weaknesses - but I like that Poch is mixing it up in terms of when to use either.

So same team that played Everton for me and I think we'll edge it 2-1. Kane and Lamela.

Not again

Nice analysis, Pinky.

We will miss Dembele here big time. I'd also love to see Mason back in the XI but Carroll, but Carroll has surprised a lot of us.

Bentaleb in with a shout too to get in beside Dier as he started this season. I'd actually love to see that.

Will be good to see a performance with a bit more intensity than that of what we saw on Sunday. Having Lamela and Alli back is pivotal to this. Will feel better with Walker back as well. I can't say I really care as to whether Vardy plays or not as I think we'll have a similar fight on our hands regardless. I think we're the better team, it just depends on how we apply ourselves on the night.

It's a real shame that Son is yet to find his feet since returning from injury though, the ball just really doesn't seem to be sticking to him enough.

 

[Gassin's finest]

We'll have Kane, Lamela, Alli, Verts and Hugo back in the XI for this... Entirely different prospect.

Confident.

Ffs just realised this isn't on TV... Arrrrgghhh

Liverpool vs Arsenal is on so I can understand why that was picked ahead of time. Massive day though we need the win bad and hope Liverpool do us and themselves a favour.

 

[Mr Pink]

Not that I care too much if Vardy starts but I don't think he will - at best he'll be on the bench.

 

[TheSpillage]

I'm off to this game. First time I've got tickets through Stubhub and they need picking up before kick off. Email says best to get to ticket office 2 hours before kick off but might struggle to get away from work that early. Anyone had any experience with this? How busy will it be between 7 and 8?

They'll have players back as well Mahrez possibly Vardy, Huth, Drinkwater,Fuchs the first 2 getting a lot of plaudits but they have a good side however I think we will nick it by one goal.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

I reckon we'll do them 2-0. Vardy is struggling with injury and won't be full throttle and Leicester had patchy for over xmas. I reckon it will be a routine win.

[neptunes]

We will ge this one on a 3 pointer, so so confident after the FA cup tie. Will be totally different game for sure.

 

[For the love of Spurs]

that is great ducking news

Ducking amazing.

 

[thebenjamin]

Top news about Dembele. Amazing what a key player he's become, he really brings the side together and gives us great physical and technical quality in the engine room. I'd imagine he's probably most other midfielders' least favourite opponent.
