Prediction time.
I genuinely believe we have a better team than Leicester and I am going for a confident win for Leeds.
I am expecting the foxes to park the bus, as long as they do lose its a status quo, but I think we have enough to penetrate their defence so going for a sneaky 1-0 Leeds.
Thoughts?

My thoughts are along a similar track, Dougie. We simply MUST score first, to make them play. Should we manage to do that, I think we will go on to score more, so I’m going 3-1 to us. No doubt Vardy will pop up as usual, and score a consolation for them in the 187th minute of made up stoppage time!

Think it will follow a similar pattern to our away win, they will have loads of sideways (Citeh based) possession, but Vardy and others have an annoying habit of scoring against us so I think it will be 2-1
(Jimmy and Kamara)
Watching their recent loss at home against Boro, lovely mr Vardy missed an absolute sitter, open goal, and the majority of the time they went very direct route one to try and get themselves back into the game and Boro did endure several scares from Foxes corners and set pieces.
Hopefully, Illan will stand (jump, catch) tall as he did at Plymouth.

Kamara scoring is a bold call Class ; would be nice
Leeds United more than ever need to score first ; I am going for Leeds score 2 1 win ( Gnonto and Gio again) .

. however just looked up Leeds vs Leicester H2H and it isn't pretty for Leeds
Leicester have a habit of winning 2 1 at ER
Last 9 matches at ER between these teams
Leeds won once way back in 2012 ( l nil)
There have been 3 draws and
Leicester won 5 times
Leeds must score first imo to win.

Only 187 minutes added on Brighty - you planning an early night?
Agree with both you and Baz, we must score first!
19 Feb 2024 16:01:44
Is there a better game for young Archie to get off the mark!
19 Feb 2024 16:10:24
My worry is that the for last 3-4 games, I have been sure / expecting that we would stumble and we haven't; now I am fairly confident for the Leicester game. sorry!
I am with Dougie, presently, I do believe we are NOW the best team in the league.
I think the Southampton result tomorrow may influence how Leicester play; if they go in to our game with only an 8 point lead and then lose to us, that could be 5 points [and 3 teams within 5-6 points of them] by the end of the weekend. Even Baz would accept that is nothing with 12 games to go.
19 Feb 2024 16:11:44
. In addition to the above, one reason to be optimistic, Harvey Barnes no longer plays for them, so that's one goal they won't score this match!
19 Feb 2024 17:01:33
As we did at leicester we need to get a grip of the middle of the park. Winks and Duberry hall don't like it up em.
Ipswich made Leicester sweat when they got after them in the 2nd half of their game. I agree with the comments above the first goal is crucial.
19 Feb 2024 17:35:44
We pressed the sh! t out of them from the off when we played away and they looked very bad under that presure. They had a decent 20mins in the second half, from what I remember, but we dictated *most* of the game away from home. I'm pretty confident for this one if I'm honest. Archie had a tough night though so hopefully we can counter that this time around.
19 Feb 2024 18:10:12
Did you say THREE (! ) teams Ani potentially within 5 to 6 points of Leicester by weekend?
Three? Trois? Drei? Thalata? Tres? ?
The " Never Gonners " will be so gratified by your change of heart Ani.
19 Feb 2024 18:12:00
Like mentioned by a few, just need to keep Vardy off the pitch, he has a knack against us.
19 Feb 2024 19:22:03
No change of a heart Baz, just using your approach which is basically mention every scenario possible and claim the actual one that occurs as a prediction. ? (just pulling your leg)
In all seriousness given the fixtures everyone has this week, it’s not too much of a stretch to see this as a reasonable outcome. As a football fan, it would pretty exciting and frequenting Leicester City forums entertaining!

Ha entertaining reply Ani.
