    Leeds Utd v Leicester City
    Monday 2nd [email protected]| Elland Road



    Leeds welcome Leicester City to Elland Road on Monday evening knowing a win will propel the West Yorkshire side past Brendan Rogers men.

    Leeds will be without Llorente (groin) and Phillips (shoulder), but welcome back skipper Liam Cooper to the heart of Leeds. The 29yo has missed the defeat against Wolves and the mauling of Villa following the hamstring strain he picked up on International duty with Scotland.

    Jamie Shackleton looks set to deputise for Phillips having impressed against Villa last week.

    Brazilian Winger Raphinha must be content with a seat on the bench, but for how long will the 18m Summer signing be happy to do so?

    Marcelo Bielsa discusses the new team, and what to expect from Leicester City.



    Leicester's long term absentee's include Caglar Soyuncu, Wilfred Ndidi (both groin) and Daniel Amartey (thigh). They have been joined by Jonny Evans (back) and Belgium defender Timothy Castagne.

    Hope Vardy drops something on his toe in next 48 hours <ok>

    Him too, but preferably Vardy. Villa beat them when he was missing

    Dropping Schmeichel onto Vardy's toe could solve the problem.

    I want the win, I’d take the point but beating Villa has taken the pressure off this one. As much as we fear Vardy I bet they’re just as worried about Bamford at this moment in time.

    That certainly is a series of words that I wouldn't have expected to agree with last season.

    Nah, I want us to win this as much as the villa game. Leicester are a club I’ve become jealous of over past half dozen seasons. Not that long since they were floundering with us but made stunning progress. At least we’re back in the game

    Morning all. Leeds on this seasons form are going to be a handful for any team in the league. I fancy them to beat Leicester.

    Might be the last game for a while. If we’re forced into another ****ing national lockdown, does the football and all the other sports have to stop again?

    Leicester are the best team in the league at counter attacking, even surpassing Wolves. If they decide rope a dope is the way to go they could easily pick us off.

    However it's up to us to put the ball in the net.

    As usual, if we are clinical in front of goal we should win.

    I don't think so.....financial disaster imo.
    So many businesses hanging on by the skin of their teeth as it is.

    By the looks of it, with the exception of schools staying open this time. Hope they have a very good financial package lined up when they make the announcement. First wave I didn't know or hear of anyone catching it, this time around I know 10 close friends and their families that have it, all caught at the same pub, 8 staff at a local school, plus numerous pupils there. I know the head there, he says educating the pupils on it was pretty simple and the way they acted was mainly exemplary, the parents on the other hand.

    I don't know if someone has mentioned this already, but just heard that Sean Connery has popped his clogs. :(

    My company have 300 employees. In the first wave we probably had 10 confirmed cases but maybe another 30 or so unconfirmed as you couldn't get a test at that point. No really serious cases.

    This time around there has been probably another 10 confirmed cases and a quite a few self isolaters. Cases are on the rise though.
