Leicester City vs Aston Villa pre match thread - Sunday, Oct 18th - 7.15pm

Craig Shakespeare could give us a bit of inside knowledge here. 2-1 Villa. Ollie x 2

Tough game 1-1

I reckon a draw. Leicester have been a bit hit and miss during games this season. We are in good shape but Leicester on their day can be very dangerous. Let's hope it isn't their day (night) on Sunday.

1-3. FTCMF!

I really hope FTCMF stands for what I think it does.  If so it's a beautiful turn of phrase that I can fully get behind.

Could you spell it out please?

CM = crisp munching if that helps

Did think it might be Monster Munch-based alright, thanks for the confirmation.

Agree with this, they have been a bit up and down in 2020. Ndidi is still out which will help our midfield as is Pereira who'd likely target us down the left. I've selected a Leicester win (worked against Liverpool) although we're due a draw. Our cause will be helped considerably if we don't give silly penalties away against Vardy which did for Citeh.

ah, my version was somewhat ruder.

thought we would lose against Liverpool and was just hoping for a positive performance
but then we went and gave them a good seeing too

thought we would lose against Leicester and would have taken a draw and a solid performance
but now after the thrashing I think our confidence must be Sky high

so am expecting we give them a good hard spanking 1-3

we probably won’t lose another game this season to be honest (and win the FA Cup)

[villadelph]

A win here and an Everton loss to pewl could see us in a very interesting position in the table. Won't elaborate any more than that for obvious reasons.

If it were Coventry it would be FTFSGF!
But I couldn't spell it out in front of my nan.

I ain’t paying for it.

Find a pub, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I'm happy

that made me chuckle

Two teams who look better on the break. I hope we score early so it’s an easy Sunday afternoon

If Liverpool beat Everton on Saturday, the winner of this one could go top of the league.  Imagine saying that six months ago...

I'd have been happy with a point from this game a month ago, now I genuinely think we can win it.  1-2, Jack and Watkins.
