    ... would just make the point again that Okazaki was absolutely superb against Barcelona ... his touch and quick feet meant their defenders couldn't get near him ... I certainly think Claudio will be using him in Europe ... he suffers a bit in the Prem as defenders are allowed to get away with far more 'robust' challenges ...

    Defending deep?

    We're unlikely to be defending at all, we're playing wing-backs as full backs and we've only got one fit centre back.

    If we get it going we could put a few past Hull and start the season well. Football's never that cut and dry though is it ?

    It is Manure that refers to a chant not Manc Poo
    I called them Manure but it has nothing to do with the sick chant

    If you ever get the chance read a book called Duncan Edwards - The Greatest
    He is the one footballer I really would give anything to have seen. Would almost certainly have been captain for the 1966 World Cup had he lived.

    I've watched a documentary about him - everyone that ever seen him play stated that he would have become the greatest English footballer ever and most likely the greatest defender in the world.

    Pity he never got the chance.

    24 hours to go until the reigning champs kick off. Getting excited. This is the ideal fixture to start a defence, opposition in disarray and us fired up. 0-3 to the good guys.

    BREAKING: Sky sources: Leicester winger Jeff Schlupp removed from squad ahead of tomorrow's game against Hull. #SSNHQ

    Play Demarai Gray instead of Schlupp

    I suspect if Schlupp goes then we will go back in for Robbie Brady

    That would make us no better or worse so why bother?

    Makes us worse in my opinion - Schlupp > Brady

    Schmeichel
    Simpson hernandez Morgan fuchs
    Mahrez mendy drinkwater gray
    Vardy Musa

    Subs Zieler, Was, Chilwell, King, okazaki, Ulloa, Albrighton.

    attack from the off, get an early goal, Floodgates will open and we'll finish up 5-0 winners!
    Easy.

    With Gray, Mahrez, Kaputzka, Albrighton and (arguably) Musa it seems we are well covered, even if Schlupp leaves, i don't see us going in for another.

    Sounds like a plan. Lets hope it happens. Kaputska also on the bench, get him on for the last 20. Feeling confident.

    Wife gave birth apparently. Not sure if that's correct. But wow, that's an attacking team, so therefore we'll probably lose 1-0. Pace pace pace in our side

    I have to say your team looks lost without Kante. No one seems to cut balls out, too many people just looking!

    Is not Kante - it is Okazaki and Albrighton imho. No one is stopping and thinking.

    True. DM is so underrated.

    But - Morgan, Drinkwater are not having a good game. Morgan struggled all pre-season.
    But still Foxes should win this in 2nd half - with the chances Ah Musa & Vardy had.
