Home banker, or tough fixture, after a decent start by Leicester?

 

[KeiranShikari]

Don't think there are any home bankers in this league, really.

We've dealt well with teams that really go for it going forward, Bournemouth, Watford and Wolves spring to mind. Hopefully we'll continue that trend.

 

[Canaryboy]

Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy have been immense so far this season, so by no means a home banker. I think this will be a high scoring free flowing game, great for the neutrals but can go either way for us. 

 

[dj161]

all signs point to a high scoring game between 2 attacking teams, chances are it'll end up a goalless draw, but I'll go for 2-1 or 3-2 to the canaries

 

[Din]

We're playing very well at the moment, undefeated in 4 games in all competitions, with 2 home wins in there, and I'm confident we'll be able to continue that run here. Should we win we'll have 12 points from our opening 8 games, which would represent a good start. 

Alex Neil has some big decisions in regard to the team, the main one being which 2 of Brady, Olsson and Jarvis will start down the left. I think at home we'll probably go with Brady and Jarvis, with Olsson perhaps coming in away from home. After Redmond's goal against West Ham I imagine he will start ahead of Dorrans, with Whittaker also getting the nod ahead of Wisdom. So something like:

Ruddy
Whittaker Martin Bassong Brady
Redmond Howson Tettey Jarvis
Hoolahan
Jerome

Prediction-wise, I'll say 2-2. Bound to be an attacking game considering the goal-scoring starts both teams have made to the season, plus both teams will be confident they can win the game. I see no reason why we can't win here but I will play it safe for now and say a draw.

 

[ZLF]

one where all the outcomes are possible - neither team is goal shy and neither that secure at the back so as SirAlex said there will be goals... (cue 0-0)

Given leicesters attacking threat and their preference to counter attack (a la wet sham) I would start the same 11 as week and use redmond jarvis & mbokani from the bench if needed.   VOO and the superb O'Neill on the bench with Rudd and Wisdom for me balancing the 18. 

 

[dj161]

cant really argue with Din's starting 11, the only possible change would likely be either Redmond or Jarvis being left out so we have a bit of pace to bring off the bench late on

 

[Canaryboy]

I'd swap Olsson for Brady, and bring Brady on for Jarvis or Redmond later in the game, for the reason DJ161 states above.

With Jarvis missing the West Ham game and Redmond starting the last game on the bench, its probably time for Brady to be rotated out for a game. 

I'm hoping for a goal from a striker today, any of them. 

 

[dj161]

like I said then, Redmond on the bench

 

[KeiranShikari]

Redmond on our bench, Mahrez on theirs. Just in case the game isn't open enough come 70 minutes.

 

[Gaffer]

Lafferty to score last minute winner. Norwich 4-3 Leicester. You heard it here first.

 

[Wiz]

I've just spotted who the ref is...........arrgghh!

 

[Gaffer]

Who and why the arrgghh?

 

[Wiz]

Old Mark Clattenburg Gaffer.

 

[Gaffer]

He's given some controversial decisions in favour as well as against us so not too worried.

 

[eatonparkboy]

He isn't a ref, he's a poser. Its all about him.

 

[Gaffer]

You're both right. What an absolute prick he is. Never a penalty in a million years.

 

[Canaryboy]

Such a weak penalty, now Hoolahan clearly holding his Achilles, last thing we need! 

 

[eatonparkboy]

Somebody please explain how Leicester have two up front but are dominating midfield.
