Liverpool v Leicester City - Wed 30 Jan - 8pm

[Gethin]

10 days without a game seems like an eternity, but it's probably a blessing at the moment 

 

Milner's suspended, Gomez is out for another couple of weeks and there's doubts about Fabinho & TAA. Wijnaldum should be fit - so there's a real posibility of seeing Camacho at RB for this one.

Would have been nice if they hadn't have been knocked out of the FA Cup by Newport and had a game this weekend.

[Hightown Phil]

Fabinho right back, Wijnaldum in the middle with Henderson. Only debate is likely Shaqiri or Keita i suspect.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Schmeichel

 

Pereira Morgan Maguire Chilwell

 

Albrighton* Ndidi Mendy Maddison*

 

Vardy Gray*

 

*Potential for Hamza Choudhury to come into midfield to make it a 3 with one of Albrighton, Maddison or Gray to miss out 

[muleskinner]

3-1 to us.

[Hassony]

3-1 to us.

A clean sheet would be nice after Palace

 

But obviously any win would do

[Tobes Rafa]

Have Leicester failed to score away from home yet?

That's too conservative for a home game. Need one of Keita or Shaqiri in there.

[Smith]

Still, Leicester is a good team capable of catching us on the break.

 

I'd prefer conservative in this game.

[schmuckdonald]

Leicester aren’t mugs.

[cymrococh]

Leicester aren’t mugs.

They're mug-adjacent.

[Ibby]

Their defending in the game against wolves was shocking

[D.Boon]

I'm hoping we do t have to play Camacho next to Lovren

[Conrad]

That's too conservative for a home game. Need one of Keita or Shaqiri in there.

Shaqiri has not been as effective starting

Keira hasn’t got going at all

[Billy Talbot]

Keira hasn’t got going at all

 

I dunno. I've always had a soft spot. 

[Rory Fitzgerald]

 

I just quickly pulled this together from the away game earlier in the season - out of boredom really.

 

No mad observations except to say their better players trend to the left and our injuries are the same side, on our right;

 

Their left: Maguire, Chilwell, Ndidi vs

Our Right: Big uncertainty on this side in terms of RB and RCB

 

Their right: Morgan, Pereira, Mendy vs

Our Left: VVD, Robertson - Mane or Keita ?

 

Depending on how things go with line ups etc, try play more to attack with Robbo and Mane against their less strong DCM and CB. Also, if there is a counter on that side, they are coming down vs VVD. 

 

Leicester have the 6th best record away from home and their away results are better than their home. Apart from the recent 7 goal thriller against Wolves, there has never been more than 3 goals in their games since October - a mixture of 2-1's for & against them and then lower scoring games, that run included games against City Chelsea and Spurs.

 

Could be a tight one.

[Bigal]

Think we could go 3 at the back,

[McBain]

Think we could go 3 at the back,

 

If you've three fit centre backs and no right backs but a talented attacking kid, it makes all kinds of sense from that point of view. I just wouldn't do it because of the left hand side. Andy Robbo is our best outlet and in part because Mane creates the space. If Robbo is all on his own down that side it's surely not gonna be as effective. 

 

I'd go Fabinho right back

[scoose]

Whoever plays right back needs to be quick. Vardy will pull over to the left to exploit it

[Hassony]

Play Salah there

 

Is TAA definitely out?

[D.Boon]

Whoever plays right back needs to be quick. Vardy will pull over to the left to exploit it

This is why I don't want Camacho next to Lovren
