They are very beatable but the table doesn't lie. They deserve to be where they are and on their day can beat anyone.

Could / should be a cracker - especially as we have nothing to lose - so if we go for it and can nick it, that will get the wider audience's tongues wagging about Europe and the top 4. |

I still don't know how we contrived to draw at home to them. Two points dropped methinks. You have to respect what they've done but nothing to be afraid of. Yeah, I am still pinching myself about that one. It's strange because at the time while Leicester were going well no one was really taking them seriously but as it has turned out it would have been quite a scalp. |

Pwingy, stop worrying about a sending-off and consequent banning for the Liverpool match.
We'd simply appeal, so that if any ban at all, it will only lock in for the much poorer opposition at OT! And they surely can't get lucky for yet another game?

It's important we don't get stretched with Vardy's pace. Walters needs to in a defensive minded team.

Leicester have been hammering goals in all season through V & M and have earned their position. But they've also had far more than their fair share of luck & dodgy decisions. The goals seem to be drying up a bit atm though and that leaves them vulnerable. I really fancy us to beat them this weekend, but having said that Leicester are still a dangerous unit and we have to respect them. Last minute goal from Hosser and Stoke win 1-0.

To be fair, their goalscoring form has dropped over the last month. Their last 5 league games have been 1-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-1 and 1-1, scoring just 2 goals in that run. |

For once we are playing a team bang on the right time. We'll probably get a point but let's stretch for the win!!!

We have changed our style, up to the end of November we pressed sides and attacked with pace, this has stopped and we have gone direct and I'm hating every bit of it. In our last 10 Premier league games we have conceded 6 goals, Ranieri was very critical of our defending earlier in the season,yet in my eyes if you can out score the opponents what the hell. As for Saturday i expect a very tough encounter, you will have all the possession, we will no doubt hit it long for Vardy to try to get in behind you. |

Bar the howler against Villa very good, ask most Leicester fans he was key to us stopping up, his leadership and no nonsense football was what we needed. |

Good to hear mate and the bloke will always have a great welcome back at our club that's for sure.Should be a good game Saturday and hopefully a few goals.Could be an interesting match up again between 2 good mates in Huth and Walters with them trying to wind each other up |

As for Saturday i expect a very tough encounter, you will have all the possession, we will no doubt hit it long for Vardy to try to get in behind you. I'd say it's a combination of factors fella and isn't really about you guys suddenly going 'all defensive and long ball'. Your possession stats have been low and your 'long pass' stats high all season long and neither are a particularly recent development, and using Vardy's pace to latch onto a long ball is hardly a new tactic either. Mahrez's form has dipped and as a result one of your main goal threats and principal ball-carriers isn't creating things for you in the way he was; Vardy may have been grabbing the headlines but the truth is Mahrez was pretty much your sole creative impetus in certain games. Also I think you have to give big credit to your opposition; if anyone was under-estimating you for the first third of the season, they're certainly not now and are dealing with your main threats far better than they were. Whilst you're a tough nut to crack, it only takes a few 0-1 results to see you slip right back. (And as Stoke fans we know all about being difficult to beat but going on a dull as shit run of binary results  ) All that aside, the whole thing would have to spectacularly fall apart for you to miss out on a likely European spot now, which would be a fantastic achievement mate. |

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? Ryan and Phil need to be aware of the long ball up to chavvy Vardy, he's caught a few CD's out this season. |

Neither should stray far from their own box, Wolly especially, he runs like a fucking shire horse. Defend the box and counter quickly. The onus is on them to come at us, they'll need more than a draw to keep up with Arsenal and Man City. |

I know he was only on for five minutes on Sunday but I thought Adam looked sharp.
Give him a game.
