Danny Simpson remains out but Matty James made his return at Anfield. Robert Huth isnt far away from returning either. Harry Maguire is avalible despite getting a 5th booking as the bookings are now wiped after the 19th game of the season Adrien Silva will be a Leicester player but wont have been registered in time to play So here is what I would go with Schmeichel Amartey Morgan Maguire Fuchs Mahrez Iborra Ndidi Albrighton Okazaki Vardy Subs- Hamer, Dragovic, James, King, Gray, Iheanacho, Slimani
Clearly 3-5-2 won’t happen. With the 4-2-3-1 Puel favours Id like to see Schmeichel Albrighton Morgan Maguire Chilwell Iborra Ndidi Mahrez Okazaki Gray Vardy It’ll probably be Amartey at RB and Albrighton left, Gray centre and Okazaki on the bench I do think given recent results it’s a must win, not so much yesterday but the Palace and Watford games were bad results.
Need a win in this one ... and our squad depth is way superior to Huddersfield's (with all due respect to them) ...
Vardy is injures isn’t he? And Iborra never seems to play more than once a week. Also, I’ll accept that Silva won’t be registered in time but how on earth does that not go through at midnight, there’s been months for everyone to do all the admin and checks etc! Kasper Amartey Morgan Maguire Chilwell Albrighton Ndidi King Gray Okasaki Ihenacho If Vardy is injured, it is a big big chance for Ihenacho to get another chance whilst supported by Okasaki and show what he can actually do.
He cant be registered until the day of the game and you have to submit your team to the Premier League by 12pm the day before the game. Its the same with every game
We abused the system a few years ago with Steve Howard and Chris Wood. We signed them on loan for a day so we could register them to get them to play on new years day Unfortunately you cant do this in the Premier League
Never heard of this before! Or have I misunderstood what you are saying Proud. Are you saying Puel knows (for example) Chilwell will be fit or not?!
Doesnt have to submit the starting line up. I probably used to wrong word with team. Its the squad needs submitting before every game. You have to submit the kit your going to wear, squad, coaches and everything I cant remember who but a few years back a club appointed a new coach (not manager) but didnt register him for the game so he wasnt allowed in the dugout
But there must be some movement as someone could get injured in the warm up and then someone new would come into the squad? I actually think he is registered?
Today's starting XI: Schmeichel, Amartey, Morgan (c), Maguire, Fuchs, Ndidi, James, Mahrez, Okazaki, Albrighton, Slimani. Subs: Hamer, Dragovic, Silva, Iborra, Gray, Iheanacho, Ulloa. #LeiHud https://t.co/4uFIv3C3C7 Vardy is injured, slight groin problem. We have been given special permission from the FA / Premier League and Silva is eligible to play and is on the bench.
Silva on the bench! Bloody strong bench btw, Silva, Iborra, Iheanacho and Gray Unsure with the starting 11, hopefully mixing it up will help as per Southampton
Hopefully Slimani will actually play as a #9 instead of dropping deep all the time - doesn't have the pace to keep up with our other attackers.
Looks like Slimani is playing as #10 with Okazaki as #9 and Morgan has buggered himself making a tackle.
Not a thrilling first half is fair to say and Morgan had gone off injured to add to our defensive casualty list. Doubt Morgan would've been involved for the cup game so 2 weeks for him to recover.
