You would expect eleven changes for this match. Why bother playing anyone likely to start against Liverpool?

Not including any of the starters at Southampton, or Vardy (susp) or James (inj obv) we could go with . . .

Ward
Simpson Soyuncu Evans Fuchs
Silva Iborra
Ghezzal Diabate Albrighton
Okazaki

Which still leaves:

Jakupovic
Johnson Benaloune Benkovic
Knight Choudhury King Elder
Ndukwu Kapustka
Uche

We've got too many players.
 
Kapustka has gone out on a sort of loan to permo deal.

I think it's too early for Soyuncu but definitely got to consider putting Benkovic and Darnell Johnson in there. Ward or Jakupovic likely to start in goal. I don't think we've got too many options upfront now in terms of changing things up. For me, we can't rely on Okazaki to win us this match and I expect we might still play Gray and Iheanacho.

Next league match is Liverpool and it's a shame we'll be without Vardy as that's a real opportunity to go out there and show what we are capable of this year. Liverpool certainly are going to be one of the front runners for the title and watching them right now I just love the way they press tirelessly. The main strength of their game and reminds me of our own title winning side.
 
Idoubt we will make 11 changes , its a game we want/should win. Fleetwood have improved significantly since last season and we needed a reply to get past them Iwould certainly rest Kasper Harry and Wilf any 11 from the rest if organised and with the right attitude should be too strong i think a 2-0 win Okazaki Silva
 
I hope Mr Puel will make sure the players take Fleetwood seriously.

A few years ago we played a lower league team (Shrewsbury I think) and lost 1-0 to a superb free kick. My chief memory is of Knockaert thinking they would be easy and that he was Stanley Matthews - they weren't and he wasn't.
 
Ward

Simpson/Evans/Johnson/Fuchs

Silva/Iborra

Ghezzal/Okazaki/Diabate

Iheanacho
 
Where's he gone?

Somebody said, I think it was on here, that he was having a medical at Benevento (Serie B)
 
Has Soyuncu's work permit been formlised yet, don't think I've seen an announcement? If so, this would be an ideal way to break him and Benkovic in. I'd also like to see Choudhury and Johnson given the chance to move in to the main squad
