Jeff Schlupp and Matty James are now fit enough to be in the squad as is Daniel Amartey. Danny Simpson has a 1 match suspension but apart from that everyone is fit and avalible. So here is what I would go with Schmeichel Amartey Huth Morgan Fuchs Mahrez Kante Drinkwater Albrighton Okazaki Vardy Subs- Schwarzer, Wasilewski, King, Inler, Gray, Schlupp, Ulloa
Obviously has to be same team which would probably have won at Arsenal had it not been for the red card. Simpson's suspension certainly opens the door for Amartey, who would be the obvious replacement at RB, although obviously Wasilewski filled in there last week. However, I'd be surprised if Ranieri plays him there for a full match, and most would agree it would be a negative selection over Amartey, who by the sounds of things should fit into this team nicely and ultimately challenge Simpson for a starting spot (I hope I'm not putting too much pressure on the lad!). Also, would be great to see Schlupp back, another dynamic young Ghanaian!
Schmeichel Chilwell Huth Morgan Fuchs Mahrez Kante Drinkwater Albrighton Okazaki Vardy Have Fuchs as RB and Chilwell as LB.
Hmmm we have 1 enforced change with Simpsons Red card, so don't see the point in disrupting a settled defense even further by switching Fuchs to Right back. We are fortunate to have someone of Amarteys quality to step in. What will be interesting is if Amartey has a cracking debut and we keep a clean sheet, does he keep his place on Tues v West Brom or does Simpson come back in? First things first though......
First team shirts are hard to come by this season. It really is a case of taking your opportunity. The door has opened (we presume for Amartey) It is now down to him to have a cracking game and take the shirt off Simpson (who IMO has been fantastic this season)
I'd just bring in Amartey for Simpson to start with ... less disruption to th regular set up the better ... he's a class player and I'm sure he will have been drilled in training all week if it is Claudio's intention to start him there ,,, Schlupp coming back to full fitness is another big positive ... his pace down the left gives us great attacking replacement options with him and Demi Gray ...
Just treat the next few months like you faced the first 3 weeks of Febuary , playing top teams , and you will never lose top spot imo . To sh:t the bed now after the positive position you've put yourselves in the run in would be nothing short of criminal .Every club you play from here is a " Top Four " club scenario .

They keep calling Fuchs; Foooks because thay can´t get themselves to say ****s how it should be pronounced. Making me smile any way.
Norwich are are using our tricks against us - have not let us play our game and closed us down at every opportunity.
It's hard to counter attack on a teams that don't really attack , it's why Leicester do so well against the top teams that try attacking constantly. Leicester need a plan " B" for the next few months against some " Park the Bus " situations . The Foxes are the team getting counter attacked on here .
We´ve had a couple of chances, but not to much joy. CR needs to change a few things in the 2nd half. We need to really up the tempo.
