Ange will play Deki over Solanke for this one I reckon .. Solanke to come on second half.
oh sorry dident mean that i was just to lazy to write names outMate, some of your player 'nicknames' need some work...
They're almost Gooneresque in their over familiarity!
Sounds like you actually know these people!

Remember we were beat there a few years back under poch. Mahrez scored a worldie. Leicester fans after were a disgrace. Bergwijn game a few years was devine justice.Always tough travelling away for your first game. But then they have to live in Leicester so they have it tough too
Royal gone. would assume Skipp and Richarlison will be on the bench (if fit). Suspect the other 8 will be in starting line up. Which to be fair I don't mind. 3 new starters per year is probably about right.First game of the season:

Imo Ange is still not 100 per cent happy with squad or how were playing atm. Still expect us to get an easy win though.
That's the spirit!Our away record has been dogshit for years and we have struggled to win a game for months, it won't be easy at all.
Leicester also hate us and will be well up for this one, every team we face will think they can beat us because of the way we defend. We will have to play well to win.
Yeah they're gonna have their clappers out in full force.Our away record has been dogshit for years and we have struggled to win a game for months, it won't be easy at all.

That's pretty much about as strong as we've got ATM (unless by some chance we sign Eze by Friday!)Son - Solanke - JohnsonThis is now I think we line up. We need to throw Solanke straight into the team - he is our record signing and needs to be backed.
Maddison - Sarr - Kulu
Udogie - VDV - Romero - Porro
Vicario
Expecting Kulu and Madisson to both start, with each taking in turns dropping back with Sarr vs pushing forward into the attack. If we get overloaded in midfield, introduce Skipp or Bissouma.
Hopefully Bergvall makes his debut; and Werner will provide excellent energy late in the game against tired legs.
I think Biss might not be starting if he's on the naughty stepThat's pretty much about as strong as we've got ATM (unless by some chance we sign Eze by Friday!)
Though weather Sarr starts ahead of Bissouma or Bentancur remains to be seen?
I've a feeling Johnson might thrive in this one... a slightly weaker opponent, (no disrespect!) not to mention the ex-Forest/Leicester rivalry and he could well be up for this and surprise a few!!
