interested to see what the formation is there. 4411?
4231?

 

[Blue Maniac]

King Musa?

 

[sparky79]

Musa inside left. Mahrez inside right....?

 

[Graz]

Couple of big calls in there from Ranieri - Musa on the wing in place of Albrighton, Vardy benched for Shinji.

Both big decisions but I think good ones. Surprised it's Musa not Gray though. Bit worried about whether our midfield will give our defence enough cover but let's hope so...

 

[Graz]

Could even be a 4-3-3 with Mahrez and Musa playing either side of Slimani? Have to see...

 

[M17TT C]

Slimani
Musa Shinji Mahrez
King Drinky
Fuchs Morgan Huth Simpson
Kasper

 

[sparky79]

Fuchs and Simpson have their work cut out keeping Zaha and Townsend under wraps...need mahrez and musa support on that.

CLAUDIO: "I need to rotate today and I think Shinji can do a difficult job for us, pressing at the front. Vardy's goals will come." #LeiCry

 

[City Fan]

Slimani
Musa Shinji Mahrez
King Drinky
Fuchs Morgan Huth Simpson
Kasper

Slimani in goal? Risky

 

[SilverFox]

Musa must have had an amazing week of training, because his last performance doesn't merit a start.

 

[Feriol]

Very attacking bench. Amartey is the only stand in for defence and central midfield.

 

[lcfcrules]

No defender on the bench

 

[FIF]

Amartey, Albrighton and Schluup have all played in defence for us.

 

[Motown Fox]

Amartey or Fuchs to cover Huth/Morgan. Schlupp to cover Fuchs. Amartey to cover Simpson. And Albrighton could be drafted in too.

 

[lcfcrules]

The Crystal Palace line up at the bottom looks strangely familiar, I can see both sides cancelling each other out in a very even contest

 

[Profondo Rosso]

COYF.

 

[pork pie fox]

COYCS.

 

[Polar Bear]

Do our fans applaud Delaney when he runs out against us? I've never forgotten how good he looked in that Villa Cup game, and I'm pleased he's still around at the top level.

Nobody, or very few, remember that he played for us
