On 31 January 2023, Souttar joined Leicester City on a five-and-a-half year contract for an undisclosed fee. The fee was reported by the BBC to be £15 million which could eventually rise to £20 million with add-ons.

He's started 1 league game this season and will reportedly leave in this window.

He played a lot under Rodgers and seemingly just fell out of favour. Pretty big waste of money

Does anyone on here know somewhere in New York that will be showing the game? The match will start at 07:30 local which is a pain.

Look at me I'm going to be in America (just before someone else gets in there).

Don't worry about it. You'll most probably get shot before the game starts

29k at best. 2000 empty seats in the Leicester end and unsold hospitality.

We were desperately unlucky not to pick up 3 points, let alone 1 point at their place in August. Always think these big games favour us away from home under Robins. However, Leicester will have the ball , but I’m sure Ado & Mark will be working on our tactics. Have a sneaky feeling we’ll destroy them 3-0 City

I’m optimistic and think we won’t lose on Saturday and actually back us to win the game.

I have a feeling Robins will do something left field this weekend and either change formation or deploy a team similar to Leeds:

(3-4-2-1)
Collins
Thomas
Lati
Binks
MVE
Eccles
Sheaf
Bidwell
Sakamoto
COH
Wright

Personally I’d stick with 4-2-3-1 and probably stick Palmer on the left if Wright is not 100%.

How many do we reckon? Beating the 30,175 from the Brum game?

Possibly. Have we managed to get more of the ground open?

Sure there will still be plenty of empty seats in the family stand which is a little frustrating given they could easily have filled them.

Think right hand side could be crucial Saka and Milan against Doyle could be the key.Good Distribution from there and runners in the box could be excellent chance to score.Dont think we have anything to be scared of try and keep it tight and don't concede early.

Doubt Doyle will start for them.

Block 5 hasn't been sold for this game though, which will keep it under 30k I think.

Sky always set up that makeshift studio in block 5 so I imagine that is why it hasn't been sold

Any news on an open top bus parade if we win our 6th cup final this year?

All these final wins and not some much as a route announce yet!

he was stoke wasn't he? He had a blinder in the world cup to be fair to him but that was part of a team that largely sat back, probably not the type of defender for a team that plays on the front foot i'd guess?

That's a pretty annoying error from Robins and/or the medical tean surely if true...

To go from 'hes being offloaded this week but feels good' to being out for 4 weeks suggests that somebody has messed up on the medical side.
