Leicester Preview

The Bottom Line

A result isn’t vital, but with signs of revival at Sheffield Wednesday and Brighton, any result would do nicely. It won’t be easy though against one of the strongest sides in the league - Leicester.

The Opposition - Any Good?

Actually Leicester have quite a few players that are pretty decent. In goal they have ex England keeper Ian Walker at a cool £1.6 million with another ex England shot stopper - Tim Flowers (left) on the bench. Internationals Matt Elliott and Gerry Taggart fill the backline, whilst Muzzy Izzett went to the World Cup in the summer with Turkey, an illustration of the gap between the two sides. They have a couple of tidy players "up top" too, with the dynamic Paul Dickov and James Scowcroft. Although the Foxes are in administration, it is clear that they do have some talent that will surely see them promoted this season.
