Not good news thought we'd be back to full strength. What happened to Geoff 2 weeks for concussion is a long time, I don't think he'll risk Ryan.
I'd imagine hell go

I think these will be harder to play than Arsenal or Manchester United were. As others have said, Leicester have loads of pace and plenty of talent in Mahrez, Vardy and Gray.
I think we will look to stifle them and look to hit them on the break, which will be difficult with our lack of pace. If we are gung-ho we risk getting countered to ribbons.
I'm sure Hughes is aware of this, so it will be interesting to see how he sets up.

Sorry if already mentioned.
Interesting stat mentioned in the Guardian today.
This is the 100th game between Leicester and Stoke. In the previous 99 games, Stoke won 33, Leicester won 33, and 33 were draws.

I'm sure Hughes is aware of this, so it will be interesting to see how he sets up. How do you stifle a counter attacking side? If they sit deep the only way of stifling them is to press - which leaves you exposed at the back. If both teams sit back the ball will end up sitting unattended in the middle of the pitch - it could turn into a massive game of blow football. Bring a pea shooter. Seriously though I think they will go gung ho in the first half hour to get the first goal and if they get it they'll then sit back and pick us off by playing to their strengths as a counter attacking side. We need to ride the early storm - or ideally nick the first goal ourselves. Looking forward to this one - and a good test as to where we're at.

I'd rather have Bera up front than Chaopou as he is better at holding the ball up. Chapou is a shit striker, but a good winger.

Good tactical appraisal, personally I think they will rip us apart with balls over the defensive line and Vardy rapidly running into spaces. Not looking forward to it. Will Berahino score - maybe- I would not rule it out.

They're a decent side but let's go in positive and give them something to think about rather than worry about their attacking threat. Their defence isn't laden with pace and can be got at.

Leicester's strength (until Puel changes it) is playing on the break at pace.
I'd double trick them by letting them have lots of posession in their defence and defensive midfield and just stand off them. I dont think they can pass through a team and only rely on breaking at pace.

We saw how much we missed Shaq v Bournemouth so hopefully he's fully fit and raring to go.

Sorry folks but I am reasonably reliably informed that today will be a low scoring draw. My source has been correct for the last two matches.
Given our form so far this season, and Leicester's recent form and boost with a new manager all their players will want to impress, that may not be a bad result actually.

This will be a challenge. OK to see Wimmer and Shawcross up against Fat Troy Deeney,but the likes of Vardy might scare the shiny shoite out of them. It won't scare Kurt Zouma, who is both faster AND stronger than Vardy. I'd fancy Cameron right up against him too. 😂 yeah and Danny Simpson is taller than Peter Crouch
