This game gives us another massive chance to really make our mark over the other team. With neither QPR or Burnley playing in the championship due to the FA Cup. A win would give us an 8 point lead over 2nd and a 9 point lead over 3rd. Ritchie De Laet came off against Leeds but he should be alright for this week. Other then that there is no injury problems. Riyad Marhez scored for the under 21s against West Brom and Chris Wood played 85 minutes as he continues his comeback from injury. Sean St. Ledger is still out but other then that everyone else is fit and available. So here is what I would go with Schmeichel De Laet Moore Morgan Konchesky Knockaert James Drinkwater Dyer Nugent Vardy Subs- Logan, Wasilewski, Hammond, King, Marhez, Phillips, Wood
@de_laet_r Jan 18 Got a knock on it better to be safe then sorry plus we have players on the bench who can do a excellent job He should be alright by the sounds of things. Ritchie De Laet returning to the side has seen us pick up 19 points out of 21 Obviously im not saying he is the reason but he has played his part
I would say that it's a reason. We haven't conceded goals for fun (Bolton aside) because we haven't had centre halves playing RB.
He was superb at against Leeds and he made the important breakthrough against Derby. I said a few weeks back that we are a better team with De Laet at right back. IMO Liam Moore is a decent right back and will do a job but he's a much better centre half Wasilewski is just an accident waiting to happen at right back though
Again, if anyone genuinely thinks that another team would be better than ill chop off a bollock and eat it. Picks itself.
Thats pretty much been the team throughout the whole season. Only real change is King and James Wasilewski came in for De Laet when he got injured with Moore going right back Consistency and stability throughout the club and team is why were doing so well.
You could say the same about Konchesky. I'd rather have him committing fouls on the wing than inside the penalty box
