As strong a starting XI as we could hope for.

But a glance at the bench shows that we don't have a huge amount of strength in depth.

Only Maatsen, JJ, Onana and Buendia could be described as first teamers.

Bailey has to provide or score today , its starting to get desperate with him .

Hope fully the rumours of a right winger might give him a kick up his shorts.


Onana not starting Im suprised , and Id have rested Luca .

I thought Ramsey would’ve started instead of rogers.

Why not Onana alongside Kamara?

I thought he played great against Man City.  Nobody played well at Newcastle and then he looked a little off the pace when he came on against Brighton.  Strange.

With the midfield it's horses for courses.  Onana will play alongside Kamara when we play away or at home v the better sides. I suppose they've figured that, in the absence of Rogers, Barkley is a better option to break down a team who will park the bus and hit long balls.  Leicester will 100% do this and attempt to get Vardy in behind via route 1.
