Match Thread Leicester v Shrewsbury - league cup

[Jeff]

Competitive debuts for Hamer, Pearson, Cain and Watson.

 

[dpjfox]

please no injuries to Moore Konch Mahrez or Knocky

 

[Jeff]

We appear to have a new signing on the bench, Wes Mogran.

 

[Lako42]

Very surprised Mahrez is playing

 

[Graz]

I don't know the positions of Pearson, Cain and Watson. Can anyone enlighten me as to who's playing where?

From the way it's listed on the OS, it appears to be:

Hamer
Pearson, Wasy, Moore, Konchesky
Knocky, Cain, Watson, Mahrez
GTF, Wood

Sound right? Not a surprise that King isn't risked, but surprised Schlupp isn't playing instead of Mahrez. Also thought Albrighton might be involved, but not even on the bench.

Cain and Watson are central midfielders, Pearson is a right back. Pearson can also play in central defence, Watson can also play at right back.

Although all three are making their Leicester debut, they do have some experience of competitive football.

Cain made two substitute appearances for Mansfield on loan last season.

Watson played 90 minutes of a JPT match for Accrington two years ago (on loan from Wigan at the time).

Pearson played three times for Carlisle on loan last season.

Just looked at the results of those matches. Between them they've won none, drawn one, and lost five.
