    Danny Simpson is a doubt and his back up Daniel Amartey is suspended leaving Puel with 2 options. Put Yohan Benalouane in at right back or bring in Aleksandar Dragovic and put Marc Albrighton in as a wing back with probably Ben Chilwell as the other wing back. Huth and James are getting closer to fitness and Adrien Silva has 3 games left until he is available. So here is what I would go with

    Schmeichel

    Morgan
    Maguire
    Dragovic

    Albrighton
    Chilwell

    Ndidi
    Iborra

    Mahrez
    Okazaki

    Vardy

    Subs- Hamer, Benalouane, Fuchs, King, Gray, Iheanacho, Ulloa

    Have played Morgan, Maguire and Fuchs as the 3 at the back - predict we will see that again.

    Only before Dragovic signed and changes of formation in the game

    I cant see us starting Fuchs at centre back over Dragovic

    Pretty much this but with Fuchs instead of Chilwell. Albrighton can play well in several positions and RB is one of them.

    It’s just you lose so much of his attaching but whipping in deep crosses is still an asset

    Schmeichel, Dragovic, Morgan, Maguire, Chilwell, Albrighton, King, Ndidi, Mahrez, Okazaki, Vardy

    Subs- Hamer, Benalouane, Fuchs, James, Gray, Slimani, Ulloa


    So I think it may be a 352 wing back formation and good to see Matty James return

    Agreed but flexible enough to switch to a 4-2-3-1 with Dragovic/Maguire RB if needed I think

    That's him, although to be fair to the lad he got injured in his first game and I'm not sure he was fit again. Think he broke or dislocated his shoulder.

    how fickle football is - lose against liverpool at the weekend (which we will !) then the huddersfield game at home if we dont win will suck us back into the pack for the relegation battle

    Beyond abysmal today.

    Watford dragged us down to their level. We really should have had too much for them.

    Don't like to knock any City player's, but when King gets a starting spot there is only one direction we are going!

    We weren't that bad - Kasper had a brain fart for their winning goal, Vardy fluffed his lines when 1 on 1 in the first half and we peppered their goal at the end.

    Sure we could have played better but we have played 10 time worse this season.
