I was just watching Match of the Day there, and I genuinely can't think of anything bad about Chelsea. If they played with the 3-4-2-1 all season, then they'd have had a great chance of going through the season unbeaten. From top to bottom they are outstanding. They've only got to go to Man United out of the entire top 6, too, as well as playing City at home.
I do wonder whether we're seeing another shift in the dominant formation. Chelsea's formation completely counteracts the obsessed-over 4-2-3-1 defensively, and their energy with the wing-backs and central midfielders means that they can bomb forward and create an overload, but they're perfectly capable of tracking back to avoid being counter-attacked. The 3-4-2-1 does require specialists in certain positions, but Conte's proven that good man management can mould players into said positions. It helps when you have world class players, though.

Actually fair enjoyed reading that.  Crazy to think about the amount of effort that goes into one dossier for one match.  I'd like to think if I was a football manager that that is how I would work!

Can Leicester turn in a performance like the one versus City at The King Power or will the malaise continue?

City seem worth a small punt at 9/2 imo as the Reds have hardly been setting the heather on fire lately.

Into this scouse shite City [emoji56]

Probably be nullified by the laughter at Liverpool, to be fair.

Surely not :lol: 

Would rather Jordan Henderson was on the pitch and Ranieri in the dug out but come on the Reds.

Can's a very capable replacement. I reckon there'll be some sort of fight back from Leicester, but Liverpool's front 3 are gonna cause them loads of problems.
