Preview Leicester City Premier League, Nov 28, 2021
Preview The Foxes picked up a 3-1 win over Legia Warsaw on Thursday in the UEFA Europa League and now sit at the top of the Group C standings with 8 points while having one foot through the door for the next round. The club aims to get back on track in the Premier League after suffering an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Chelsea on Matchday 12. Goals from Rudiger (14'), N’Golo Kante (28'), and Christian Pulisic (71') saw an unrivaled Chelsea emerge from the one-sided duel of ninety minutes at the King Power Stadium. With 7 points from a possible 15 in the last five games, WWLDL, Brendan Rodgers’ side held on to 12th place while having 15 points after 4W, 3D, & 5L. The Leicester City boss reiterated his commitment to the club over the week, with United circling around as they embark on a comprehensive search for Ole’s permanent replacement. Like I said in the last interview, it’s not real, Rodgers said on Wednesday afternoon. There’s always gossip and speculation, and I suppose that will always be there until Manchester United appoint a full-time manager, he added. The 48-year-old will be focusing on returning to winning ways after three games without a victory. A 4—3—3 formation with Ademola Lookman, Jamie Vardy, and Harvey Barnes in attack is anticipated. Wesley Fofana and Youri Tielemans are both ruled out for this fixture, along with Ricardo Pereira.
Preview Watford Premier League, Nov 28, 2021
Preview Watford’s famous 4-1 win over Manchester United saw the club move one spot higher, from 17th to 16th place on the Premier League table, having picked up 13 points from 4W, 1D, & 7L. The Hornets have the form: LWLLW ahead of this fixture against Leicester City, and a win here could see Watford climb further up the table as Ranieri hopes to make another positive stride. The Watford boss was recently shortlisted for the FIFA Fair Play Award alongside Denmark and ex-Celtic captain, Scott Brown. Last season, Ranieri’s Sampdoria performed a guard of honour for Antonio Conte's Inter after the latter picked up the Serie A title with Inter for the first time since 2010. On Sunday, the 70-year-old could line up the 4—5—1 with Joshua King at the top of the design. The Hornets could be without as many as six players in their injury-hit squad. Ismaïla Sarr remains doubtful while Nicolas N'Koulou and Oghenekaro Etebo are both ruled out, just to mention a few on the list of possible absentees.
