Coventry away, super preview
Keeping momentum must be the answer to a new great result

THE CUNNING FOX, 30.09.2009

Team news

Leicester City
City won their last match against Middlesbrough and has fought themselves into the play-off area. City has not been able to make the best out of their games before the visit to Riverside. Manager Nigel Pearson made a number of changes in front of the game and was rewarded with a great win.

Lloyd Dyer was back in the team, Yann Kermorgant made his first start as a City player, King replaced Wellens, who had to rest because of an injury and Hobbs replaced Tunchev for the same reason. Michael Morrison also made the starting 11 after being dropped for a long period.

TCF would like to see DJ Campbell and Richie Wellens in the City squad. Campbell shows in the reserves that he can score goals and if you put everything aside and just concentrate on football, every City fan would like to see him help us winning football games. Wellens is an integral part of the team and will be missed, despite good performances from City's Welsh international Andy King.

TCF would prefer this line-up and bench for the away game against Coventry

4-4-2
Weale - Morrison, Berner, Hobbs, Brown - Wellens, Oakley. King, Dyer - Fryatt, Gallagher
Subs: Logan, Howard, Campbell, N'Guessan, Adams, Kermorgant

Latest news
Tunchev is out for a long while, but hopefully we will be able to get Wellens fit enough to be part of the squad. DJ Campbell shows his goalscoring form in the reserves and Pearson should find a place for Campbell in his squad

Coventry City
Coventry is only one point behind us in the table and two positions below. Chris Coleman has a goal to reach the play-off's this season and the strategy at home is to get 3 points. This could suit Leicester and give Fryatt a few chances to score.

Clinton Morrison is of course one to look out for and the former Crystal Palace and Birmingham forward will be a handfull for City's defenders. He has 6 goals in the first 10 games, so be on guard.

Coventry won their last game against Watford, 3-2. This was a very strong result away from home.

Probable Coventry line-up
4-4-2
Westwood - Van Aanholt, Clarke, Ward, Wright - Clingan, Cork, Gunnarson, McIndoe - Best, Morrison

Latest news
Coventry chase Wolves for Sam Vokes and hopes that the player will be able to come in before the game on Saturday.

TCF prediction
Nigel Pearson and his men is in for a big test. They have to find a momentum after the game against Middlesbrough and hopefully we can get something good out of this. A draw would be a realistic bet and TCF hopes that it could happen. If we want to be among the top teams, we need to show even more concistancy in the next games, so I just hope that a good Coventry side, isn't good enough to win against us.
