      It would be good momentum builder for us to pick up 3 points tonight, end the month 7 points clear like we were at the beginning of the month. As many pointed out January hasn't been a great month for Klopp and to come out of it in such a position dealing with all the injury issues we been having would be great.

      As far as the line-up I would be incline to have Shaqiri in the starting line-up tonight and start Naby on Monday vs West Ham (in a 3 man mid-field). I would have Matip back alongside VvD and Fabinho at RB.

      Bear in mind that it's an evening match. Bobby is usually on top form when he plays at night. His best performances have often come at night.

      Erm 2014?! They chased us down mate and won it.

      no not really, they had games in hand I think. I'm not sure we were ever really ahead of them, or if we were it was not by much.

      If the lads are focussed an dup for this then we'll win it easily I think, if they aren't it could get tricky but I'm sure Klopp will get them into the correct frame of mind.

      What? We were 3 points clear if they won their games in hand.

      We lost to Chelsea and drew to Palace = title gone

      When the basking in the Newcastle/Rafa sunshine subsides we will still be faced with beating Leicester City, a fine team and a genuine team and club. They are a well organised team with a clever manager. We will have to be 100% on our game.

      They have pace,I've warned against their smash & grab tactics, so it's vital that we don't give away possession when pressing them. I expect we will have enough to beat them but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes down to the wire.

      Been sh*te the last few weeks, three points for the reds!!

      Win tonight would be F***ing massive.

      yup, we dropped 5 points and let them in. :-(

      Both games were so frustrating.

      We were hammering palace, then nerves set in.

      And Cheatski did the usual park the bus and punished our mistakes.

      small margins can change everything so quickly.

      Yeah I remember both games. Palace was just so damned cruel and Chelsea was naive as I think a draw would have been fine in that game. Slightly naive tactics from Brendan at the time but hindsight and all that, it was still a hell of a ride though.

      the world is going to hell in a hand cart. 650 idiots are trying to extract us from Europe and Trump is just proving to be the most idiotic person ever to hold high office. Yet tonight on spite of all of this we get to support LFC and attempt to go 7 points clear in the EPl which actually means something.

      I can almost smell the cu*ts waiting for us to slip up so they can go on a whingefest.

      3 points is all I care about tonight.
      I don't care how, I don't care how many we concede, as long as we come away with the 3 points.

      For me, Leicester’s style of play is quite similar to Palace; get at the opposition with pace on the counter-attack. This is what caught City out against these teams.

      Luckily for us Leicester don’t have a player like Zaha, although Vardy seems to enjoy playing against us.

      If Gini and Fab start together I will feel more confident, as I felt we had little control of the midfield in their absence against Palace.

      That being said it will be a case of attack versus defence, we just need to be careful of their counters.

      We just don’t wanna give up silly goals like we did against Palace.
      Get ahead and tighten up in the middle. Close down their supply to the front, keep the ball better, and get it to bobby mo and mane to their feet. Our front three link up like they can, we’ll do these but it’s gotta be fast and sharp. No holding on to the bdll too long as an individual.?
      Come on you red men. To many false dawns in the past. Let’s do it tonight and steal a march on everyone.
      Starting to believe just a little bit, it could be our year 😊
