Team V Tottenham

[Proud Fox]

Gokhan Inler should have his international clearance in time and Mark Schwarzer should be over his illness to return to the bench. So here is what I would go with

Schmeichel

De Laet
Morgan
Huth
Schlupp

Albrighton
Drinkwater
Inler
Mahrez

Vardy
Okazaki

Subs- Schwarzer, Benalouane, Fuchs, King, Kante, Ulloa, Kramaric

 

[BigFox]

Can see us sticking with the same side for the 3rd week runny tbh.

Would prefer 5-3-2 with Benaloune in for De Laet and Albrighton as wing back to negate the Spurs speed.

 

[The_Mountain_Fox]

No tinkering me thinks, as you are for week 3.

I thought Spurs were criticised recently for their lack of speed!

Kane isn't particularly quick.
Eriksen? Not known for being rapid...?
Chadli? See Eriksen!
Walker at RB is rapid, I'll give you that.
But don't think Davies at LB is too quick...
Who else do they have?
Lamela? Not too pacey...

 

[Lcfcfox1]

Why would you drop King? So far him and DD have been very effective in 2 won games.

[MIAMI_FOX]

I think we go again with the same side. Harsh to drop anyone on first 2 performances. Ease Inler in gently for the last 20-25 mins if defending a lead.

 

[Fantastisch Herr Fuchs]

Got to be the same side, surely? Inler and Kante are going to have to fight past King and Drinkwater to get those coveted midfield spots. It's all suddenly looking a lot brighter in that area!

 

[LeicesterWizard]

With Kante and Benelouane, we have seen Ranieri isn't going to bring them in on name alone, I don't see Inler starting this week, he may get 20 mins depending on our circumstances on 70mins.

 

[Lesta Gangsta]

Cah't see Inler going straight in, there's no urgency with our last two results and he is also new to the Premier League. Unchanged team for me, with Inler and Kante to come off the bench.

 

[leicester_ed]

I really don't think that we can change the current team...

 

[MIAMI_FOX]

Will see the return of Tinkerman this Saturday? Hopefully not. Same team pls Claudio

We don't have the pace we had previous when we had Walker/Lennon/Bale/Defoe, but the danger for you would be if you dominate and Eriksen has the ability to make great long passes, while Kane/Chadli are always looking to get in on goal.

If you target our full backs pushing high or Dier being a DM (some rate him there) then with your pace/creativity I can see you causing us trouble, but in both games this season Utd/Stoke we have come out and dominated, granted Utd away lasted 20 minutes but i'm looking forward to seeing how we deal with your energy and creative players in form as both Utd and Stoke were out of sorts.

 

[BuzzardFoxMick]

It has been a dream start for us as we go in search of three Premier League wins from three. The way we have gone about our games has been refreshing as well and plenty of credit in the early stages of the season has to go to our new manager Claudio Ranieri. He has kept the training staff on from the previous regime and the theory he could shake-up the squad has so far proven unfounded as his team we have a nice balance with plenty of threat going forward when given the opportunity. So expectations have now started to rise as we go for a remarkable nine wins from our last 11 starts in the Premier League since April. We are 17/10 to achieve that feat against a side who have made a stuttering start with an opening-day loss at Manchester United before chucking away a two-goal lead at home to Stoke in a 2-2 stalemate. It once again showed the softish underbelly that Spurs possess and it is was no surprise to hear the likes of midfielder Mousa Dembele say they must be much more ruthless. Harry Kane has yet to find the target and was subbed against the Potters and then seen with an ice pack on his ankle. Mauricio Pochettino has landed Clinton Njie to help boost a wafer-thin front line but is still in the market for another recognised striker - I don't think Nacer Chadli is anything near a long-term solution. Spurs can draw on a sound recent record against us while Kane bagged a hat-trick back in March but I think the verve We are showing will probably just gain the day and make a little piece of history (see below stats).


Leicester City have won four successive home games – they haven't won five in a row in the top-flight since April 1984.

Tottenham have won 10 points from a possible 12 in their last four Premier League games against the Foxes (W3 D1).

Leicester City have never won their opening three matches to a top-flight season.

Leicester City have won 28 Premier League points since April 1st 2015; more than any other side.

We have started both games quite slowly (first ten minutes or so). Sounds like you've been starting well, so I think your best chance is to grab an early goal (or two).

I think this is going to be a really good game.

We already achieved 9 wins from our last 11 premier league games. Saturday could take us to 10 wins from last 12 games. Truly incredible really

... excellent post Mick

Saying that, the 20-30 minutes after than we've been superb.

 

[FosseFilberto]

... various comments that Inler will get debut.. might be off bench .. or someone possibly picked up a knock?

Job to say, both King and Drinkwater have been imperious and Spurs don't really have a particularly tough midfield (physicality wise).

I say stay as we are.

 

[Fantastisch Herr Fuchs]

Inler might be a good option to keep Eriksen quiet. Harry Kane is bound to score against us, and our defence still looks a little shaky, so I'm a bit worried about this one. I think there'll be goals either way.
