The Duffy thread got me thinking about this and the concerns about his pace or lack of.
It's an interesting one as although we've been better with a back 4 at times this season, this is a game I definitely feel we need to play with a back 3 to counter Leicester's pace. Playing a back 3 means we can have one or two of the CB's at different levels, starting a bit deeper to ensure we don't get caught on the break, with a flat back 4 that would be harder.
We have to assume Webster is out, I would then move Veltman into the back 3 and play March at RWB. I actually think that could work quite well though as he would be up against Harvey Barnes who is really dangerous but I have total faith Solly can match him for pace and look after him. Barnes is also right footed and cuts in on his right foot a lot so having a left footed player there will also benefit us.
