Having seen March's defensive display on Saturday I would be happy with that starting lineup.
I'd have Izquiero on the bench though assuming he gets clearance

Typo in previous post: Davy Pröpper

Leicester do not seem to be able to put a that strong side in central midfield that was where Man City gave us so much trouble. Fuchs will probably be left back for them? Albrighton is right footed but played on the left against Arsenal exploiting Arsenal's three at the back with a deep cross for the Vardy goal.

I think we might be better starting with one winger and having an extra man in midfield?

I put Sidwell in the Albion team for his PL experience. I was tempted to include Rosenior in right midfield for the same reason. But we have enough right sided midfielders already.

I think Huth and Drinkwater are not match fit for Leicester.

Following two matches for Leicester are Man U (a) and Chelsea (h).

Why are people preferring Hemed to Murray? I don't recall Hemed ever playing ahead of Murray last season and he did nothing on Saturday to change my mind.

Work rate away from home. And I am not sure that Murray can hack it for whole game? Murray is better at defending though. Hemed is thought to be marginally better in midfield (back to goal and headed passes as well). When the oppopsition tires (or does not tire) near the end I see Murray (on as sub) more likely to pinch a goal.

Don't agree, Murray can't be fully fit IMO.

I certainly feel that Sidwell should start as should Murray. We need to get a goal ahead somehow. If we let Leicester dominate and take control we are dead meat unless we get that goal start.

Don't see a win for a fair while yet.....Maybe in 5/6 games time
Not enough bite in the middle of the park and this will see a defensive formation that won't suit us.

 

[DumLum]

Nobody starting with Stuart Munday?

 

[BensGrandad]

My team would be:

[

Ryan
Bruno...Duffy....Duink....Suttner
Knockhaert....Stephens....Propper...March
Gross
Murray
Subs: Maenpaa, Rosenior, Hunemier, Hemed, Sidwell Murphy Izquirdoo.​

Did you not notice that at no point during the game none of City's 3 centre backs broke rank, either forward or sideways.
All 3 marked Tomer, and then Murray.

This. They never gave him a sniff.

Yes very much so. City took their time and were patient. One of the reasons they took some while to break through. They made it very difficult for us to effectively break quickly

Fine if one win leads to another.

 

[pottert]

I would leave knocky on the bench.Maybe put skalek left side with Murray up front.I think propper has something about him as has gross.
I would not be surprised if we put sidwell alongside Stephens & propper & played Gross,Murray & march in a 4.3.3
