Wes Morgan had declared himself fit and avalible and Claudio Ranieri has confirmed Morgan will remain as captain. No injuries to worry about. So here is what I would go with Schmeichel Morgan Huth Benalouane Albrighton Schlupp Drinkwater Kante Mahrez Vardy Ulloa Subs- Schwarzer, De Laet, Wasilewski, Fuchs, King, Okazaki, Kramaric
Schmeichel (C) Benalouane Huth Wasilewski Albrighton Kante King Schlupp Mahrez Kramaric Vardy Subs; Hamer, De Laet, Fuchs, Drinkwater, Hammond, Okazaki, Vardy
Surprised not many of you have Fuchs to start. I think he will definitely start Schmeichel Morgan Huth Fuchs Albrighton Mahrez Kante Drinkwater Schlupp Vardy Kramaric
Quite agree with Proud ( wtf) bed em in early as long as their 100% fit after all they are well paid professionals !
Still think Krammy will need to break into the side naturally. As it stands, I'd have Vardy over him any day.
For what it's worth... Pantilimon Jones - Coates - Kaboul - Van Aanholt Larsson - Cattermole - M'Vila Johnson ----- Lens Defoe
Yeah he's signed first thing this morning. I'm sure the cut off time was 12pm today? I'm not sure he is fit enough to be honest though mate and he's had issues with his temper previously. However, I think most people know that if we get him back to his best we have a world class player on our hands, who won't be here to long before he's playing at a Champions league club.
"I’m very happy to be a Sunderland player," he told the club's official website. "I had a very good feeling training with the team; every player welcomed me and the feeling was very good with them so I’m excited for the start of the season. "I’ve also wanted to play in the Barclays Premier League for a long time so I’m very happy to be here." I’ve played in France, Russia and Italy so I have good experience and I’ve also played against England with the national team," he added. "I’m a midfielder who has good vision and I’m a good passer of the ball; I like to play box to box but I can also sit in front of the back four and protect the defence." "Many people spoke to me before I joined the club and I believe Dick Advocaat can improve me and help with my progression, and I also know the assistant coach Željko Petrović very well. “I’m very excited to play against Leicester City and I’m looking forward to playing my first game in the Barclays Premier League, before playing match after match and having good results.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looks like he will be playing against you guys
