Zero reason whatsoever to fear this lot and the first time in god knows how long you could make a genuine case for us being favourites when coming up against them

Alas I don't think they will lie down that easily, my prediction is us to be winning for most of the match and for Leics to escape with a lucky draw with a goal near the end

Would always take a point away from home, but I honestly think we will win this . I say 2-1 Rudoni and Simms

Of all the games - its this one I want us to win more than any other. They had a once in a lifetime opportunity to really do something really special with the CL money..and they pissed it up the wall. Beating them will reinforce their own fans view that they are a club in decline.

I still think they are the best team in the league if they get their shit together....and we will need to be on it from the start to get anything out of it.

Away against a parachute payments team, they will be clear favourites. A draw would be a good result.

Saying that... I really want to beat those 6 fingered, inbred bastards and we can, if we play like we did against Norwich but clinical as we were against QPR.

3-2 to us with EMC scoring a last minute winner and instantly becoming a Coventry legend by shushing the Leicester fans on the way to celebrate to our corner in the away end

It's ridiculous really.
They're still a very decent team and have started slightly better than us and have home advantage.

They're not as good as they were last time in the championship but some of the despondency from their support is ludicrous. I've heard a few talk about relegation- fucking idiots.

Their support is likely full of fairweather fans who'd only support them because of the title win.

Have only watched them against Birmingham this season but I would definitely take a draw

They didn't play great but were solid defensively and clinical on the break - need our defence to be on it to get anything

Birmingham were pretty poor as an attacking force though, I think we should cause them far more problems.

Tough match. They have a huge squad full of former EPL players and have had a fairly strong start as well. Glad Ramsey will be missing for them. Fatawu is dangerous and think we should play Wolfy in place of Thomas and possibly BTA in place of Saka. Otherwise keep the same team and hope KKH is fit for a place on the bench. Would like a win, but at least a draw.

Especially if you work in Leicester, and your boss is a massive Leicester fan.

Toughest game of the season.

Players like Mavididi and Fatawu can be game changers at this level. Would take a point if i was offered right now

Fatawu is arguably the best player in the division.

XG is Bullshit...unless we are top of the league for it in which case it's a very accurate metric...

We won't lose this, Leicester are spawny fuckers when they play us normally so that plays into my mind.
Im confident we can win this and it will be 2-1, 3-2

We should have beaten them last time at their place but didn't take our chances. Sounds familiar.

We’re due a win there. Again, our issue is giving away soft goals. I’m expecting to concede so it’s a case of whether we can score 2/3

This defo happened. The home win was the first in ages if i recall, was a sense of relief around the ground after that. Didn't last for long.

I’d bring Woolf in for Thomas but not sure if Frank will do it in such a big game.

3-0 win - we'll get an early goal, the natives won't be happy, quiet as always and start to leave when we get our 2nd around the 65th min. 3rd goal at the death and an joyous casual stroll back to the car, smug as fuck
