Matty James is still a few weeks away and Jeff Schlupp is out but apart from that everyone else is fit and avalible so here is what I would go with Schmeichel Simpson Morgan Huth Fuchs Mahrez Kante Drinkwater Albrighton Okazaki Vardy Subs- Schwarzer, De Laet, Wasilewski, Inler, King, Dyer, Ulloa
Worth pointing out Jamie Vardy is on 4 booking and if he gets booked he will miss the Tottenham FA Cup game But im sure Vardy wont get a cheap booking
Agree. Think Inler was in there to serve a purpose given the strength of man Citys midfield. We will start with a more attacking formation. In regard to Vardy being on 4 bookings I thought I heard them say in the commentary that if a palyer doesn't get 5 bookings by the end of December they are wiped and its then 5 before the end of March before a ban is enforced.
If Vardy isn't 100% then I really hope he gets a rest for this game, surely one of the others can step up? Still Bournemouth may see this as winnable as they seem to have a knack of turning over the top teams.
I´d freshen things up abit or tinker as it´s known. I´d rest Vardy & put Ulloa in & may be Dyer for Drinkwater. The DEF seems to be working well & starting to play more of a unit, but all these games in quick succession I really do think we need to use the squad abit. One thing I´d want to see changed is the amount of possession we have in a game. I´m hoping our next 19 games aren´t going to be.... well I won´t go there.
The time for tinkering and resting players will be in the FA Cup in 10days time. I think we should play our strongest 11 against Bournemouth. Arsenal have a banker at home to Newcastle so we need to try and stay with them.
Totally agree, this is not a game to be tinkering. Bournemouth will be tough and have only lost 1 in the last 7 I think. Most will get a 2 week rest soon when I'm sure we will play the reserves again for The FA cup game
This, we've had 2 tough matches and i hope the players don't take Bournemouth lightly. Bring in others for the FA cup to give them a chance to show what they can do.
I Would do that too. That´s why I would rest a few. Spread this xmas period around abit & get a few fresh legs out there. After the FA cup then, yes, put out only the best 11.
Saturday wont be easy as its probably the first game in a month that were expected to win But if were serious about top 4 etc. Its games like these we need to win
Keeper and back four picks itself at the minute. Midfield against Man City, Inler was accused of giving the ball away and having a rough allround game. I still think he will come good with a little gametime. Personally i thought Drinkwater gave the ball away just as much!!!. Upfront i would like to see a little of Kramaric before he puts in for a move! Possibly this could be a good game to try a few players and see what they are really made of.

I hope we carry on in the next 19 games as we have in the last 19. Just get at them from the off & pass & keep the ball alot more who ever starts.... ...oh & get 1 more than them...atleast.
Scmeichel Simpson Morgan Huth Fuchs Mahrez Drinkwater Kante Dyer Ulloa Vardy I'd give Dyer a go before Albrighton and stick ulloa in for Inler for more attacking purpose. Go for the three points, obviously, then rest a few for the cup next week.
"Good game to,try a few players" suggests it is an easy game. If Ranieri does that and we lose everyone will be on his back saying we should have played our strongest side. I think we go with our best side again then make big changes for the cup game the week after. This will give most of our first 11 a 2 week break
I agree. This is not a game we should be resting players. I would gladly see 11 changes for the FA Cup game and then go again for the league game 3 days later.
