I hope so or you're in goal and I'm in midfield!

[eamonn]

One thing that's slightly holding me back from betting on us to win the league is that we have benefitted from the element of surprise a little - against Sheff (bringing on a substitute as the corner we scored from was taken. Classic Distraction technique) and Liverpool (they wouldn't have had any analysis available to see what difference Barkley could make).

Leicester are a really good team, this will be an interesting test.
The obligatory Vardy goal for them, Ollie for us. 1-1.

Apologies, I've put Grealish, Watkins and Martinez in my Wildcard team.  I know.  I accept full responsibility.

You still have a few days to replace them with Maddison Vardy and Schmeichel.  You know it makes sense!

[Brend'Watkins]

I can’t see Leicester playing the same high line like Liverpool did so I don’t see lots of goals for us. 2-1 Watkins and Mings for us.

[Three Spires Villa]

A very tight draw 0-0 or 1-1

[algy]

Well, we beat Liverpool 7-2, and Liverpool beat Leicester 4-0 away last season ... so I reckon it should be about 12-0 to us.

Don't exaggerate, that only makes 11-2

[darren woolley]

I reckon we will keep our good run going and get a 2-1 win.

[TonyD]

5.1 Easy win for us.

A wounded very good Leicester against a buzzing brimming with confidence villa, 0-0 written all over it!!
I take a draw, a win would be brilliant. When was the last time they lost 2 home league games in a row?

That’s a genuine question?

Anything less than a 4 goal victory will feel like a defeat and put the pressure on Smith.

[Toronto Villa]

The PL doesn't do 0-0 anymore

Last season 0-4 v Liverpool in Dec and 1-2 v Southampton in Jan. They had a win and a draw at home in the cups between those games.
