Leicester (a)

Due to the indecisiveness/incompetence of Shi it's left us needing to take points from the current and traditional top six in the new managers opening 9 games.
It's going to be one hell of a motivational 180⁰ to tell the same players who were told the season didn't start until Brentford that no, you definitely can beat these sides.
Leicester is simply must win. You'd hope Everton (Chelsea A) and Palace (Arsenal H) won't pick up any points.
I expect us to lose v United, they're flat track bullies, put 8 past Leicester in league and cup, and 4 past Everton. They fall down against anyone half decent.
Spurs can be got at, especially with things appearing to turn on Ange.
If we can get actual defenders in as soon as the window opens we'd have 9 days between Forest and Newcastle to prepare. I'd be using the cup game as a pre season game to refine our plans without caring about the result.
After that even the most optimistic fan might give us 4 points, beat Villa and a point elsewhere but in the words of a wise man "tough, very tough"
