Match reports - on top of his good showing v Bournemouth on the weekend, Chris looking really good for Mexico in two weeks!

Nigel Pearson made five changes to his side from the weekend’s win over Bournemouth - Miquel, Dean Hammond, Matty James, Jeff Schlupp and Wood all handed starts in a 4-2-3-1 formation for the Foxes.
Liam Moore, Andy King, Dyer, Jamie Vardy and Nugent were the men dropping to the bench, as Pearson rotated the same matchday 18 he has deployed in the last two league games.
Fulham meanwhile made nine changes to the XI that lost to Southampton on Saturday, with Senderos and Steklenburg the only survivors in a side captained by Aaron Hughes.
City started the game by pressing their opponents hard, looking to deny them time on the ball and on seven minutes that almost forced an opening.
Fulham skipper Hughes misread an early ball over the top that was chased down by Wood, but despite the New Zealand striker’s calls for handball, referee Keith Stroud was having none of it.....
.....With just five minutes left of the half, City got their reward for their enterprising play, as Derek Boatang went into the book for a foul on Hammond about 30 yards out.
Unsurprisingly, Knockaert stepped up to the mark and drilled a thunderous shot at goal, which proved too hot to handle for Stekelenburg, who could only fumble into the path of Morgan to gratefully head into the corner of the net.
Just four minutes later it was another defensive error that proved to be Fulham’s undoing.
Under pressure form Konchesky, Senderos made a mess of his clearance, which struck the City defender and fell kindly to Wood in the box, who slotted into the corner from six yards out to give the Foxes a deserved half-time lead.
SECOND HALF:....Both sides seemed to have their bit between their teeth but it was again City who could have added to their lead with four chances one after another.
Wood’s excellent improvised volley was tipped over by the ‘keeper, Dyer’s effort was blocked, as was James’ before Schlupp pulled his effort wide from a good position.....

"The Cottagers boss made nine changes from the side defeated at St Mary's - but that could have had as much to do with their failure to create a single chance at the weekend rather than any sense of Jol showing his priorities...."
