      Want a win, but if we come away with a point I'll be happy.

      With Joe and VVD at the back I fancy us more than any other team to deal with their lightning-quick attacks. Could definitely see them scoring one or two though, so I hope Bobby keeps his streak going and we can control the game from then on out.

      7 games if you include Everton in the FA Cup, January looks brutal, if we can get through that month with a healthy lead then we really should be home and dry and what an advantage it to have two less games compared to City and Leicester (League cup).

      As regards the Leicester game I think we will win it, it seems they have had a slight dip in form, possibly due to fatigue and not having a squad to speak of. I think we will win this game easier than the first one, I'll go for 3-1 to us.

      Could be a tricky one. Defence will need to be 100% focused as playing a high line against Jamie Vardy could be dangerous. Thankfully Joe & Virgil aren't short of pace themselves so we should be able to deal with him.

      Think we'll beat them, wasn't very impressed with them against Man City at the weekend, or when they played us earlier in the year. They seem to already have that hallmark of a Rodgers team in the sense that they're fine rolling over some of the lesser teams but look convincingly second best when they come up against the big boys.

      Could possibly be a tight scoreline and I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with another late winner like the reverse fixture earlier in the year, but I am pretty convinced that we'll be by far the better side over the 90 minutes

      Has he resumed training yet? Henderson, Milner and Keita more likely, or perhaps some arrangement of Sadio, Mo, Bobby and Shaq or Divock with just Henderson and Milner behind. I"m thinking Wijnaldum will need to fully recover.

      If we start Hendo, Milner and Lallana in midfield we have zero chance of winning, that is an awful midfield. I think I could just about cope with Hendo, Milner and Keita, but I'd rather go Hendo, Keita and Wijnaldum/Lallana

      OK. Hope so. I saw him on the bench but for some reason, maybe the track suit bottoms, I thought he wasn't really a possibility to get in.  As I say, I hope you are right.

      Wasnt being sarcastic pal  there I meant was he on the bench to meet the min requirements ? Like you say touch and go may save him for Wolves at home

      Looking forward to the game.I love these games we're we are put to the test. I mean this isn't up there with going into the lions den but it's still a challenge. I think Mo and Sadio love these games. The bigger the better, bring it on.

      Damn Vardy looks confident on the pitch, probably best striker in the PL at the moment. I hope Gomes starts this match, he looked good in the last couple of games he started for us and he is fired up , could be an interesting task for him stopping Vardy.

      Yes Vardy is good but if you take him out of the equation then Leicester lose almost all their potency. In the match at Anfield Vardy was fairly anonymous and I expect Klopp to deploy similar tactics again to cancel him out. We also need to be careful with Maddison, he's another danger man.

      It should be a good match, but they are in a bit of a dip just now whilst we are riding high, similar to their match against Citeh I think we'll have a bit to much for them to handle.
