Always a hard place to come but i reckon we'll get something this time. A win would be great with Spurs away up next. 

[RandoEFC+]

No Vardy.

Crystal Palace away was a decent test to be fair.

Agreed but this is another notch up the ladder of difficulty.

Well it should be anyway. Still don't know which Leicester are going to turn up sometimes these days.

[Stan]

Expect the line-up to be 

Schmeichel

Pereira - Maguire - Morgan - Chilwell

Gray - Ndidi - Mendy - Albrighton

Maddison

Iheanacho

Thoughts on my man Maddison so far?

quality. got very quick feet which means he's good at getting free-kicks as he's sometimes too quick for opponents. 

Cautious about an over-reliance on him regarding creativity but so far, so good. One of our best players so far.

Good to hear. He'll be playing for England soon.

 

I think he may have been the most fouled player in the championship last season. He's  great at winning free kicks (borderline dives sometimes(

Chilwell, Maguire, Gray, Maddison. Wonder if they'll all play for England senior side one day at the same time.

Gray reminds me of Redmond, poor end product I don't think he'll make it. Chilwell, maybe

Am I right in saying I’ve seen something that Alisson and a few others may not be fit for Liverpool? If so, it’s a different game and a much closer one.

I've not seen anything about that. Klopp said something after Brighton about not being happy with the drop off in the second half and he might need to make a few changes for this game

think it might be time to drop Firmino, Salah & Mane.

Found the article. It’s a race against time for the Brazilians post International break.

Ah right yeah. Liverpool normally pay for a private jet to get them back quicker. Still not ideal given the Spurs game is the early kick off on the Saturday

To be fair they'd be behind Milner, Gini and Keita on form so far yet probably that's where we'd see a change in the 11...

Can't see us getting anything. We've been quite fortuitous in both of our wins so far and while we were unlucky arguably at Man Utd, they've been terrible so far.

We're a young side so it's hard to go too hard on them but Liverpool will have too much I think and without Vardy, who loves a goal against these, I give us little chance of scoring unless Maddison or Gray can pull something out of the bag. Iheanacho I think will be marked out of the game very easily, it keeps happening and it's a problem. He needs to become more of a pest. He's just a luxury player at the minute in a position we can't afford one, especially given we're built around Vardy.

0-2.

I think there's little between us really. If anything I'd say Palace edge it given we have no Vardy.

Obvious quality but his struggled to really get involved in games so far. As I expected really. When he clicks he'll be a star.

[LFCMike]

Henderson in for Keita our only change

[...Dan]

No striker for Leicester. Gray or Ghezzal as a false 9?

[RandoEFC+]

What a flop Iheanacho has been compared to the potential he had.

Leicester were always going to struggle here but with no Vardy it's hard to see where they get a goal against this Liverpool side.

Think this is a 0-1 or 0-2.
