Traore and Grealish still being doubts is a worry.

My first away day of the season, So 3 points, it's going to be tough though

From the OS:

Tim Sherwood says Idrissa Gana is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Leicester - with the boss also sweating on the fitness of Jack Grealish and Adama Traore.

Gana picked up a hamstring injury on international duty with Senegal and will be assessed in the next 72 hours ahead of the Foxes clash.

Sherwood revealed that Grealish is ahead of Adama in his fitness battle as the pair recover from hamstring and ankle issues.

But the boss is hopeful that both could play a part at the weekend.

He said: "Jack and Adama are making progress.

"Jack is closer than Adama. We're not sure if they are going to be fit at this minute. We are monitoring them day by day. We are treating the injuries.

"Adama got kicked on the calf and injured his ankle at the same time. The kick on the calf has improved, that's no problem, it's just that the ankle is still a bit of a problem.

"We will give them every opportunity to be ready for the next game.

"Idrissa picked up a hamstring injury on international duty. We're hoping he can get himself fit but it looks doubtful."

Gabby Agbonlahor has also recovered from his bout of sickness.

Traore and Grealish still being doubts is a worry.

Gabby being fit is a bigger worry.

shame but sadly true

Would be a big miss if those three are all out. I guess veretout and Gil would start. I don't want to see bacuna in midfield again.

I'm in Leicester on Sunday, unfortunately not for the game but for a nephews 40th birthday party. We'd better win or it'll be a very unhappy birthday party for me surrounded by Leicester fans. Oh and it's an 80's themed party where everyone has to rock up in 80's fashions so for me it's jeans, trainers and the Champions Of Europe shirt.
By the way we'll win 2-1.

You'll be the only one in fancy dress.

[The Laughing Policeman]

LeeB, I'll be the only one dressed sensibly, all the rest will turn up with big hair, shoulder pads and jacket sleeves rolled up and that's just the men.

That's what I mean, they still dress like that over there.

What's Gardner's status? With Gana out and Veretout potentially not up to speed yet, you'd think Gardner might get a cameo in the second half if we play 4-3-3 all game. Otherwise we'd be rolling out Bacuna or Richardson as a midfield sub.

I really can't see Sinclair playing no 9

I think once the squad numbers are registered you can't change them, so I would expect him to be no. 9

Looks like we could be something like

Sanchez Westwood

    Veretout

Ayew        Gil

     Gestede
