Leicester v Swansea - Sun 24th April 16:15

[Whitechapel]

TEAM NEWS
Leicester will be without top scorer Jamie Vardy, who will serve at least a one-match ban as a result of his red card in the draw with West Ham.

He is expected to be replaced by Leonardo Ulloa, while Nathan Dyer is ineligible to face his parent club.

Swansea midfielder Leon Britton returns after missing the last two matches with a back problem.

Jack Cork has recovered from a facial injury he suffered last weekend in the defeat by Newcastle.

• The Foxes are unbeaten in their last 11 home games in all competitions against the Swans.

Can't see anything but a win for Leicester here. 1-0 I reckon. Hopefully the players perform though for Swansea.

Swansea are safe, have nothing to play for and lack firepower. I expect a 2-0 win for Leicester here to push them one step closer to the title.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!


Anyway I think this is the decider in a lot of peoples eyes. We win this we go on to win the league, we don't and we don't.
The confidence of a win without Vardy would spur (!) us on to finish the job, if we don't pick up the 3 points I think we'll shit it and Tottenham don't look like easing up.

 

[Whitechapel]

Please win Leicester. For the love of all that is holy.

 

[JimJams]

Ulloa in for Vardy, no change to the shape.

Schlupp in for Albrighton too. He has pace and pretty much nowt else.

1 - 0 Mahrez

 

[JimJams]

Great stuff so far. Schlupp and Fuchs defending the right corner at the end of the half was class.

 

[Libertadores FC]

Terrible first half from Ashley Williams, as both goals were his fault.

 

[Jockney]

Schlupp is donkey. A lucky, useless donkey.

 

[JimJams]

3-0 Ulloa gets on the end of Schlupps erm... assist? Runs and runs and runs but fuck me lad learn to shoot!

 

[JimJams]

Schlupp is donkey. A lucky, useless donkey.

You wouldn't believe he started out as a striker would you?

 

[Jockney]

You wouldn't believe he started out as a striker would you?

I remember him as a striker. He went on trial to Man United as a fullback IIRC.

 

[Jockney]

Mahrez is class.

If Leicester win the PL will King be the first player to have league winner medals in three different divisions for the same club?

 

[JimJams]

I'd imagine so yeah.
Also hoping if we win it that Boro win the Championship so De Laet can have a PL and champ winners medal in the same season.

 

[JimJams]

Albrighton!

Nobody wanted to put that in!

 

[JimJams]

Speaking of King he doesn't seem to want to score today.

 

[silkyman]

all over in the title race now I'd say. Don't fuck it up at Old Trafford!

 

[Stevencc]

And on they go, Vardy or no.

I made that up.

 

[JimJams]

A win and 2 draws needed if Spurs win all their matches.

 

[voltage]

Don't see Leicester loosing this title.
Vardy's ausence could've sounded worrying but this great performance showed the whole team is well prepared and in the last rounds their will tends to keep rising. Also Ulloa is shining.

A win and 2 draws needed if Spurs win all their matches.

[SALTIRE]

I was going to put a sneaky fiver on Spurs yesterday to win the league before that match; glad I never, its all over.
