Same team as against Sunderland.
Ball & Travis in the middle is too defensive. We need Taylor to carry the ball and alleviate pressure. |  | | |

The Wolf was sensational against Sunderland - can you drop him?? |  |

I think the game against Leeds taught us that we need to be more defensive away against such an attacking team. | |

On that basis of Morsy and Luongo being out, as well as Hirst and Burgess, I don't see why we would further disrupt the team by taking out Taylor (I know he's not a constant starter but he's more established than Ball), Broadhead and Woolfenden. The latter two have been almost guaranteed starters the entire season.
That team looks pretty makeshift.

| I’d still start Broadhead… let’s hope this is the game he comes back into on 12:26 - Jan 20 with 4063 views | unstableblue |
Harness must be very close for coming in for him or even Sarmiento
Let’s hope he comes back with a bang, as Broadhead is a gamechanger
But Town have carried the weak form of Broadhead for some time, if Harness had put in those performances he’d be slated.
Come on Nathan bring your A game… hurt the Foxes. We believe! | |

Don't think any of your three proposed changes make sense.
We're worse with and without the ball when Woolfenden drops out. (If there was one myth Leeds away should have slayed, it's the idea that Tuanzebe's pace improves us defensively)
Morsy to Travis already makes it harder for us to progress the ball through midfield, foolish to compound that by switching Taylor for Ball.
Harness for Broadhead is probably the most attractive of the three because MH is better back to goal and out of possession, but still, Broadhead's our biggest threat in transition and shooting from outside the box, both things we'll likely need to do well to hurt Leicester.

I think we learned you play your best defender against the best opposition. Woolfenden has to start.
I can’t see Ball starting when he’s only started 1 league game all season, in which I thought he was quite poor against mediocre opposition. | | | |

I thought Taylor was poor against Sunderland. Constantly gave the ball away and ut us under pressure. We need to be far tighter in midfield against a Premier League quality team who will punish any mistake. | |

More than one way to put yourself under pressure though, isn't there?
We played Dom Ball against QPR and he finished his stint with 92% pass accuracy. Why? Because he'd barely played the ball forward once. Taylor finished the Sunderland game with 70% pass accuracy partially because his radar was off, but partially because he'd attempted five times as many passes into attacking areas.
With a high pressing home team, how much pressure does having one midfielder just constantly bounce the ball back to the centre backs put you under? | |

Don't get the Taylor was poor narrative at all - his passing was a bit mixed but he was very involved and generally did a good job of driving forward with the ball and breaking the lines.
Put Ball in there and we've got no hope of progressing through a team that like to get on top of you. If we want to try and be slightly less open I guess we could go Travis/Luongo if the latter is fit as he still offers drive from midfield.
Leicester have taken a bit of a battering in midfield with Ndidi injured, KDH possibly out and Casadei sent back. They won't be as solid in there as usual so a good opportunity to take the game to them in that area of the park. |  |

Quite right. The amount of times Taylor took the pressure off us by carrying the ball forward and his penetrative forward passing was quite possibly the difference between winning that game or not. | | | |

Think Travis is more than capable of getting the ball forward but can also put in a tackle. | |

Ball?!? Taylor has done OK. Not enough wrong to get dropped for Ball.
Ball hasn't looked good in games I've seen of him.
I get we need to be solid but we need to attack too.
And drop Woolfenden? I'm not sure about that too. | | | |

He dropped Woolfenden for Leeds, but the result may put him off doing that again.
I can't see why we wouldn't name the same XI that started against Sunderland. | |

He was also excellent against Leicester at home. Meanwhile, when we brought Tuanzebe in for Leeds away...... |  |

What did the game at Southampton earlier in the season teach us? | |

What did the game at Southampton earlier in the season teach us? |
It taught us that we couldn’t have played them at a better time. They were struggling to come to terms with Martin’s style of play, the crowd were not convinced by the manager and they came into the game against us off the back of a 5-0 defeat to Sunderland and a 4-1 defeat to Leicester.
The Southampton of January 2024 are a completely different proposition to the Southampton of September 2023. But as a student of the game, you already know this. | |

That it was a completely different southampton to the one that's gone 21 games unbeaten? | |

At the time we played them, everyone was concerned about how we'd fare away at an ex-PL side with the firepower that they have. We played our usual way and won well. I don't see the value in drastically changing our approach for Monday on the basis of the Leeds game where everything that could go wrong did go wrong. | |
