I'm hoping Gabby and Grealish play wide of Sinclair with Gil behind him.

I think it will be the exact opposite! Really don't see Sinclair as a lone striker

Well he's no winger. He's managed one cross this season and even that could have been described as a poor shot.

I think Gil will be the wide creative type with Grealish more often central.

This is the problem with Gabby being the automatic starter. We have to fit in players around him.

Two things to be wary of:

Leicester like to make a really fast start

Limited protection for our full backs in that formation. They're both athletic which helps and Amavi is two footed which also helps. But I don't fancy Gil and Sinclair to offer much doubling up protection

The choice is between gabby, gestede and ayew tho I think. Sinclair can play off a striker but not as the main one (I think - could be wrong).

It's a shame that Adama hasn't made it, but pleased to see Gil and Grealish.

I don't get the love Sherwood has for Bacuna. I like him as a squad player but not a regular right back and fear for him today against either of their wide men.

Sherwood's very big on developing players. Bacuna isn't the finished article and Sherwood will have a picture in his mind of where he can get to.

Good, then develop someone else than Gabby up top.

It's exciting but I'm a bit worried we're a touch lacking in dependables at the top end of the pitch. But hopefully we've enough at the back end. Big emphasis on grealish.

Bacuna does make me nervous. But in terms of goals he's cost us, I don't remember too many? Most of our other defenders have several assists to their name!

I can  think of plenty, fulham away and qpr home immediately spring to mind. He's an awful RB

I think it'll be 1-1. Albrighton for them, Ayew for us. As an unfortunate Leicester native this is a must win game. I grew up in the 90'a hating the hoodoo they had over us.

Come on lads!
