Donk in to the back three with Saiss coming in to midfield?
 
Donk at the back and play 3-4-3 IMO
 
I'd drop Donk into the back 3, and bring Cav in and go back to the 3-4-3
 
Possibly. I'd be more tempted to go back to Neves and Moutinho in the middle, with Jota, Raul and MGW/? up front.

Bennett
Coady
Dendoncker

Doherty
Moutinho

Vinagre

Costa
Raul
Jota

Ruddy, Saiss, Jonny, MGW, Cavaleiro, Traore, Ennis/Ashley-Seal
 
Quite happy with Donk playing in the Boly role - Would start with Moutinho & Neves in the middle and 3 up front
 
Costa really shouldn't play, he's been shocking recently.
 
If we play 3 up front then would prefer Cav (or MGW just behind the front 2)
 
Yup agree with Donck at the back and MGW ahead of Neves and Moutinho
 
I'm expecting Nuno to revert to his favoured 3-4-3 with Dendoncker in for Boly, Neves and Moutinho in the middle and Jota/jiminez/Cav or MGW up front....whatever formation and whichever personnel, I'm looking forward to it, my first live game for a bit
 
I don't mind either Saiss or Donk in place of Boly.

We could do with someone like Donk in midfield to keep an eye on Maddison really as he is the player that makes them tick creatively.

So for me the same team as last night but with Saiss replacing Boly.
 
I am nervous about the back 3 now. I feel that playing under the cosh against City is different to playing as a CB in a more open game. Given his form in midfield I'd be tempted to keep Dendoncker in there and go Saiss for Boly, or have a serious think about if any of the youngsters are ready for CB.
 
I'd move Dendoncker to LCB and play one of Costa, Cavaleiro, Traoré or Gibbs-White in the front 3.

This for me. Leicester are going to be defensive and pack the middle, Donk will be tidy on the ball and no slouch against Maddison/ Vardy. I don't think Helder is in good enough form and if we get good Cav instead of bad Cav then we should do well.
 
This for me, would rather play 3 up front but neither Cav nor Costa deserve to play and I'd rather we kept Traore to the last 30 mins off the bench

Bennett - Coady - Donk
Doc - Neves - Moutinho - Vinagre
MGW
Raul - Jota​

Really hard to pick between the 4 inside forwards tbh. I'm not a Traoré fan but he had the beating of Chilwell at their place.
 
Think on balance 343 would be a better route for this one.

Leicester are unlikely to sit in a try to do a number on Wolves in the same way we've seen others do this season, I think those are the games where you see the benefit of the extra man in the more central areas, also their fullbacks like to get forward a lot and I think the wider forward line provides better protection from that as it can become more of a 541 when necessary as well as giving opportunity to break into those spaces behind adventurous fullbacks.

Only problem being that there is no-one really making those wider forward positions their own this season so it's difficult to know who to go with, perhaps start MGW and he gives you flexibility to change to the other shape if it's not working out.

Saiss at the back keeps a solid midfield. I do not want to see us outdone there at home by this lot. They are in dogshit form so will look to be solid and hope for a break. They will take 1-0 all day long. The thing is so would I for us and I think thats what it will be 1-0 if we play a 3-4-1-2 and fight them in the centre. There is always Traore if we need a bit of pace late on. Saiss and Jonny is more solid on that side then Donk who hasnt played there before and Vinagre who is more attacking than defensively minded. This is a game we start at 0-0 and it can get no worse than that please.
