I think we have more than a good chance of turning them over. If Shaq is back it will be a bonus.
They looked average this weekend and Mahrez was not his usual self, here's hoping that continues next week.
Thoughts?

Leicester also have a tough game, (FA cup replay v Spurs) on Wednesday Although I think that the league is their priority , I believe that many of their top players will feature midweek which may work in our favour. We have a very good chance of taking all 3 points

Will we have one eye on next Tuesday?
I would think so.

I really think we'll beat Leicester next weekend. As long as we can keep their danger men quiet I fancy our chances. I'd take most of our team over theirs any day.

Leicester are 2nd on merit and this will be a tough match. Can not deny their never say die attitude as we witnessed first hands ourselves
I know some will have a problem with Leicester being up there due to connections, history etc, but I think it is a breath of fresh air
Anyways
Butland Usual back 4 Whelan Adam Arnie. Afff. Shaq Joselu

If we don't give away stupid penalties, we have a chance of winning, especially considering their midweek game against Spurs & their sub-par performance against Villa. But I'd be happy with a point.

Their midweek tie against Spurs will hopefully add to the general fatigue witnessed on Saturday at Villa.
They've done amazingly well but I think we can go there with confidence of getting something.
Saturday will be our 9th game in 30 days (and their 8th) yet we still looked reasonably fit for 90 minutes yesterday.
Really looking forward to it...

I think whatever team we put out we've got a great chance of beating them. Not looked like team that was ripping up trees earlier in the season for a while now.

Perfect Scenario ... Today <insert Team Name> buy Vardy & Mahrez. Spurs and Leicester play a brutal sapping 120 minutes with hutu getting a red card 2 minutes from time and Leics winning on penalties. Stoke breeze into town, mug them in an easy warm-up match for the Semi. Being 5-0 up by half-time with a hat-trick from Joselu and 1 from Diouf and Shaq, Hughes subs Arnie, Shaq & Affelay at half-time and we are fresh and brimming with confidence for the second leg turn-around! Just call me Nostradamus from now on! .

We have a very good chance of taking all 3 points I think you make a good point. We need to pass the ball about a lot and make them run around a lot. With Huth in their team there is little point in playing long balls.

I went last season (can't go this time) and really enjoyed the day.
I think we have a good chance. Shaq to start in place of Bojan who will come on around 60 min to put us 2 up after Robert Huth gives a penalty for wrestling Shawcross to the ground in the first half at a corner.
If Carling did football.

With Mike dean being the ref I just hope that we are careful and don't get any silly bans for the Liverpool game.

Unlike Anfield we have a decent record there. 1.1. Bojan with our goal.

Everyone has,been saying their bubble will burst. For at least 4 months. Well it hasn't yet, so why do we think it will this weekend. Yes, on paper we look better, but so do most other teams (even Villa TBH), but by mid Jan the table doesn't lie.
We'll do very well to get anything there.

Looking forward to it already. One of my rare away appearances. Goaarrrnnnnn Stoke. Me too mate. Don't get too many at all anymore. My expandable income has been greatly reduced since baby WD came along. A ticket for Leicester away was a Xmas present and I can't bloody wait!! Incidentally, Leicester away was one of my away games last season too when we won 1-0, courtesy of a Bojan goal and a towering performance from Wolly at the back. Hopefully another 3 points this Saturday!

We'll do 'em. They're starting to slip, we've started creating chances again, our defence is better than most and Wes Morgan is crap. Shawcy just needs to make sure Arnie knows what to expect from Huth and to keep his cool and we're in business.
