The worst run club in Football visit one of the best. If only the League table was based on fiscal conduct, then we would be the high flyers. Instead City have been allowed to continue to compete with well run clubs like ourselves and look set to return to the Premiership.

Leicester City VS Brighton HA
Competition : Nationwide League Division 1 Date, Time & Location: 8.3.03 - 3.00pm - Bescot Stadium, Walsall
Tickets: Mr Whalley says a 10,000 plus crowd is on the card.  Leicester have sold out their allocation, he also recommends an early arrival.
	Directions (Road): You cannot miss the stadium if you travel along the M6. It is just off Junction 9, then the A461 road leads you around to the Stadium. It is well signposted from the Motorway. You can Leave at Junction 10, it takes longer but it is also sign posted. It is a 20 minute walk from the town center, and it is also served by its own Station "Bescot Stadium Station". (Guide to Bescot)
News: Javary has gone back to Sheff Utd. Junior is back, so he  will possibly replace Zdrilic. Wrack is also available, and he could replace Corica. Roper (Injured) and Hay (suspended) are both unavailable, meaning the back three (if it is a back 3) will be made up of Emblen, Carbon and Barass.
News: Davidson & Rogers  are suspended while Deane and Impey are out injured. The Foxes have been unable to make signings since they went in to admin, and Adams claims to be down to the bare bones.
one2watch: Jesus loves you, and Junior loves Walsall? That's the general vibe from the Samba man. He is back from Brazil, and he will hopefully rejuvenate our forward play that has been abysmal since he left. The big question is....Will he have to settle for a spot on the bench?
one2watch: Paul Dickov is foxes leading scorer, and will not want a repeat performance of his last game against the Saddlers. He missed a boat load of chances, chances that could of made their victory an extremely comfortable one. 12 in 29 is not all that impressive for a team in a promotion spot, but his pace and persistence is a real threat.

Last Time 2-0 9/11/02 - Nationwide Lge Division 1
The Verdict: Mickey Adams has had a fair bit of grief from the Leicester faithful lately. While The clubs financial future is also starting to look a great deal bet they are in massive debt, and despite all of this they are in a promotion spot. Many would say that the kind of position that clubs like the Leicester, Derby (and all the others) find themselves in should be punished severely. Instead they have been proped up by administrators while clubs like Walsall live the hard way and weather the storm. Back to footballing issues and their recent form is a little erratic, but they are by far the best side we have played so far this season and we are going to have to improve on the Brighton performance to take anything away from the game. A returning Junior might like to give us a little reminder of why we extended his loan period. We are due a ruck of goals at Bescot, tomorrow could see it!
PREDICTION: The Saddlers 3-3 The Foxes
