    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.

    Chilwell is ill.

    I expect us to go full strength and rest our main players for the FA Cup.

    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.
