      Got ir to be a little concerned playing there just a few days after the WC Championship in Qatar, they're on fire right now and Brendan has them playing like he had us playing when he was here but saying that we are the best team in the Country with a cushion so I'm confident we will get something there definitely!

      Not into the take a draw and keep um at arms length idea which I read on Twitter today, just go win blow them out of the water! Feel the CWC might actually do the squad some good, bit of relaxation and training in nice weather obviously important we’re sharp against flamengo but it might not be a huge strain the cwc! Leicester good not on our level we’ve beaten better teams than them over the past 2 years and we’ll do the same December 26th 👍🏻

      Assuming both sides keep the run of results going, it's going to be a big one.
      They are playing with confidence, to their strengths, with pace, and they obviously have really good team spirit.
      We're no slouches either though.
      Long way to go before then...

      They're on a nice little spell of form. No doubt about it.  Fact remains though that they have won just one of their five games against teams in the top seven.

      They've got an interesting game v Man City to come as well.

      If they win that then I'm sure they will be taken more seriously.  Can they win games with seven of their first XI out?

      Can they win games with one of their first eleven out ? If it’s Vardy

      They have City away before this game, hopefully they get battered and are on low morale.

      I would take a draw and run, especially the timing of the game is what drags us back.

      I don't know why people are worried about Leicester,they might be having a good run at the moment but so are we.In fact the league table shows we are having a better run.Go the  REDS.

      Winning at Leicester on Boxing day could be the knockout punch, in the title race !

      I saw that as a quite boring draw. With both sides sitting slightly deeper to negate the swift counter, I think we’ll sort of cancel each other out. We do have more chances of scoring through other channels admittedly, and at ours, Vardy hardly got a kick. He’s their main threat as we know, be it through scoring or assists. If VVD takes him out the game again, there’s a good chance we’ll win it, but with not wanting to lose it, I’ll hang my hat on the draw.

      A draw would be ok, I'd take that if offered now, but I think they will overcommit and leave themselves open to a counter attack.

      Agree.

      They have beaten Villa, Watford, Everton, Brighton, Arsenal, Palace, Southampton and Burnley in a row. Fair play for winning that many in a row, but we have beaten all the same teams except Watford, whom we play Saturday.

      Of those teams in their run, only Palace are in the top half of the table, the rest are bottom half, including two of the three in the relegation zone.

      Oh, and before that run of theirs, they lost TO US. We're better than them.

      Don't think we fly more than 3,000 miles and not give it a go. Agree with Billy we can do both. We've got the squad, we're well-managed and we're better than everybody else.

      It’s more that 8 points is a bigger threat than 14 points.

      Yeah yeah i know, but i think Foxes cant keep this tempo through the whole season, i think descend in their game will come sooner or later. Than again this is the same exact thought i had for the most part of the season when Leicester won PL.
