    Thats it Champions League time. Leicester City are in the Champions League. After the shambles against Liverpool there will probably be some changes.

    Danny Simpson will miss the game through injury but everyone else is fit and avalible. Here is what i would play

    Schmeichel

    Hernandez
    Huth
    Morgan
    Fuchs

    Amartey
    Mendy
    Drinkwater

    Mahrez

    Vardy
    Slimani

    Subs- Zieler, Chilwell, Wasilewski, King, Gray, Okazaki, Musa

    He is a Polish International and should be given a chance! at least on the bench, could not do any worse than others
    who played yesterday.

    He isn't as good as Albrighton, mahrez, gray or musa yet so there is no space for him in the match day 18

    Don't know how you can come up with that logic

    Kapustka was talking the other day saying he is still learning and Ranieri told him he wouldn't walk into the team straight away

    I think he will make his debut against Chelsea next week in the cup

    Not for the champions league match, but I might be tempted to change it a little:

    Kasper

    Albrighton Hernandez Morgan Huth Schlupp

    Drinkwater Mendy
    Mahrez

    Vardy Slimani

    Protects the back 4 a little more, has width, has pace, allows Mahrez to get into the game a little more and still has two up top

    Schmeichel

    Hernandez - Morgan - Huth - Fuchs
    Mendy - Amartey - Drinkwater
    Mahrez - Slimani - Musa

    I agree something needs to change. This might be a gamble too far, but it might be worth experimenting with 3 in midfield against Brugge. Could easily play King instead of Amartey if we want to go more attacking, or play him at RB in place of Hernandez, who hasn't impressed me so far.

    King's experience in game like these might see him come in

    He has played in alot of places like this for Wales before

    Based on some of the shocking performances of so along with injuries, it'd be interesting to see something like this albeit maybe in a few weeks but it's doubtful

    Schmeichel
    Morgan, Huth, Hernandez
    Albrighton Chilwell (Wing backs)
    Mendy, Amartey, Drinkwater
    Mahrez
    Slimani, Vardy

    Good spot lads ha! Obviously wasn't at my best when I put that! Either way something along those lines would be interesting but you'd then be looking at one of the 3 in the middle dropping out but we may look better defensively if we have 3 at the back with 2 wing back as we did under Pearson. We were fortunate last season that Kante was like a third man in the middle but 4 4 2 doesn't seem to be working right now. I was thinking Albrighton as cover for Simpson if he's out for a few games and Fuchs has been disappointing so I'd quite like to see Chilwell

    Amartey played centre-half for Copenhagen - what was evident on Saturday is that Wes and Hooooooooth are susceptible to nimble fleet footed forwards - Amartey is much quicker ... I have no idea what Claudio will do - but like after the Arsenal game last season, he will weigh things up and react ...

    I'd still start with 4-4-2 and see how it goes, the CL isn't the place to make drastic changes to formation and personnel.

    Agree. Wednesday not the game to make wholesale changes to team and formation.
