Ben Chilwell injured or Rested ?

Surprised he’s not starting tonight .

Groin strain apparantly.

Fuchs showing he is a fantastic back up, maybe doesn't have the same attaching threat as chillwell but still a great game considering her hasn't played barely this year.

Another team who upped their game yet stuck 11 men behind the ball, not the greatest game to watch but ground out a win.

Var gets more of a joke every match, how vardy gets booked for a dive when there was more contact on him than when mane went down and won a peno against us! To not give the pen is one thing but to not have the yellow card removed is an utter joke!

2nd pen soft, probably making up for the 1st half.

Defending very well and Barnes keeps getting better, just needs to start putting them in the net!

The manager has signed a contract extension to 2025. Watch our form go to st now.

Very pleased for him, he remains my favourite ever manager. I really hope he does well there.

Anyone taking on the Watford job needs a lot of luck.


I take it Leicester have offered Rodgers a bumper contract to increase buy outs and remove terms?

[Willmass]

Another excellent performance from Leicester city this afternoon, Brendan Rodgers seems to have the Midas touch along with some very good players .

Leicester are a pleasure to watch .

Most of the nation are getting behind Leicester now.

[Barchettaman]

Congratulations to Leicester thus far, they’ve been a pleasure to watch.

Quick question to anyone who was at the Villa match - what were the AV fans chanting at Vardy, that led to him cupping his hands to his ears at them after his first goal?

Probably something about Rooney.

From FT, but worth posting here...

Your missus is a grass.

In every game other than one it's been chanted in he's scored so it seems to be our lucky charm!

You want them to finish above you also in that case?

Last week Norwich played very well and so a draw was good for the Foxes. Must be catching though as there was a FT draw against Everton....but we did proceed to win on penalties. Looking forward to Boxing Day against Liverpool....

We were lucky to get a draw vs. Norwich. I think we'll get a point out of Man City & Liverpool, but we should aim for at least 2.

All four fixtures in February moved for TV, shocking! Both away games moved to Friday night, and the home games moved to early KO and late KO.

[Cobnapint]

We seem to have lost a bit of our fizz. Man City were all over us for most of the match, Stirling discovered (to our cost) that gravity is at least twice as strong in the opposition's penalty area, and Mahrez looked like he wanted to prove a point & rub our noses in it.

The price of being successful.

City were superb esp KdB and Mahrez

Was it just me or was that an obvious dive by Sterling? Surprised MOTD didn’t go back and review it

It was a penalty, clear contact, though as usual Sterling made a meal of it.
