Enzo Maresca ahead of Leicester City [H] in the Premier League:
๐ฅ On team news:
โRomeo [Lavia] could be fit, but not playing from the start.โ
โThe rest are the same as before, there is no update on Noni [Madueke], Marc [Guiu] and Aaron [Anselmino] - they are all out still.
โNico has started to do some running outside which is good but I donโt think there is any change with his status, we are still looking at after the international break for him.โ
๐จ On Moises Caicedo - and whether there are any second thoughts about him starting on Sunday despite being one yellow card away from a two-match suspension:
โNo. At this moment for us, itโs about winning games, so we cannot plan giving Moi a rest thinking that he can play Arsenal. We need to win against Leicester and then we need to focus on how we can beat Arsenal. Itโs just game by game and we need our best players on the pitch.โ
๐ค On whether he will have a word with Caicedo before the game:
โThe position of Moises, if you see his background, last year he had 11 to 12 yellow cards, the year before the same, because heโs a midfielder. You are in the traffic. Sometimes you have to make some fouls. Itโs normal. Hopefully, he can avoid that until the end.โ
๐ On what Maresca did with his squad after a decent sized gap between fixtures:
โWe had some time off [after the Southampton game] which I think was needed after a tough run of fixtures.
โNow we are back and we are working very hard, with the focus now on Leicester 100 per cent. From now until the end of the season, every match is an important game and itโs important that we understand that each victory at this stage of the season can help push you towards the Champions League places.โ
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ On Leicester:
โLeicester will be a very tough opponent.
โEvery team is playing for something and those that are battling relegation are maybe even more desperate for points, because they need to stay in the Premier League.
โThatโs not to say those who are battling for top four or for titles are not desperate for points also.
โWe are focused and prepared for a tough game and hopefully we can get the three points.โ

From balling in Chelseaโs midfield to cooking as Managers. ๐ฅ
We need to talk about Cesc and Frank this season
When Frank Lampard took over at Coventry they were 17th and just two points above the relegation zone.
Frank has now picked up eight wins in his last nine matches as Coventry manager, currently set for his ninth win in 10- the Sky Blues are 5th in the Championship table.
Cesc Fร bregas is one of the most impressive coaches in the world. Tactically outclassed Palladino, Motta, Inzaghi, Conceiรงรฃo, Gasperini, Vanoli Italiano, Conte etc. He is coaching players to perform at a higher level than their ability. I watched Como-Roma last week, despite Cesc not being on the sidelines, his principles is well instilled in the players which led to a competitive style of play.
Definitely one to watch for the future ๐
