Cooper last featured for the Whites during their 1-1 draw with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City and he has been absent from two matchday squads since then (per Transfermarkt).
If Liam Cooper is fully fit for the visit of Leicester City, should he start the match?
Yes, he's too good not to
No, he should be benched
