I'd take a draw if offered right now
If Hendo starts, I think we win.
If he doesn't, I think we may too - don't know why, but I just have faith in this team doing the necessary.
Hendo is out
Nah, he's out.
One or two being out and I think we have enough, but Leicester are a good team and are perfectly set up with Vardy to capitalise on our patched up team.
Trent, Gomez, Virgil, Hendo, Thiago, Salah all out at the same time is too much.
Leicester are missing quite a few as well, in fairness.
He will probably score a pen. He’s scored a few against them.
Probably the first time Vardy runs at him. Hope Williams is on the bench at least he's not slow.
Because of the PL's rules he is now ruled out of the Leicester game and likely he'll miss Atalanta too because of UEFA/FIFA's rules.
Faack, Brighton it is then.
On the plus side Tariq Lamptey's sending off yesterday means he will miss our game at Brighton next week.
He loves a big challenge that sends the opposition into the advertising screen!
this would be great from a possession & control POV but i still think i would have preferred to see Fabs in the DM slot marshalling Maddison / Tielemens / Praet
Yeah, we miss more than just Salah's goal scoring, his all round play is immense, & massively underrated imo.
Having him & Hendo missing whilst we have no VVD is a fucking massive loss x 3 I think.
The midfield isn't bad, but could struggle to impost itself.
The front three could be good but without service may be restricted.
The back four is more or less makeshift.
It's still a very strong side considering how many players we have missing, but this game could easily go horribly wrong.
Mané will be boss this game. Don’t worry, he’s got this.
It might make more sense to play Shaqiri because the midfielders we have available (bar Keita) don't offer much going forward, but I doubt Klopp will play him.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of a red herring though, in either Nat Phillips or maybe someone like Origi.
There's a decent argument for having Fabinho in midfield, because that's where Leicester are strongest, on the flip side he has less ground to cover in defense while coming back from a heavy injury. Jones hasn't really done enough for me, is it just me?

I think we're gonna go all out today, mental we can score one more than you stuff, & we'll be fine.
However there's still a good chance it could go tits up in a big way with their pace & the issues I outlined.
My concern is that work rate from Salah. The last few games he's won the ball god knows how many times. Whenever we've scored he's done something instrumental a few seconds before, even if it wasn't the final pass. I'm not saying we can't beat these without him but it really is a massive loss with the form he's been in. The soft twat.
Salah playing means that the opposition usually have to put 2 players on him, freeing up space for someone else. Him missing out is huge. Putting money on Leicester today is like buying money. No doubt dreamy has already done it
It is 7:15 kick off. I just don’t want you to miss our first 4 goals.
I’m all over the place with these kick off times, have no idea what’s on what and when.
