Pre Match Leicester v Fleetwood (league Cup)

[Miles Away]

It is, I counted.

And isn’t that the point when it comes to this competition these days?

There’s a point?

There’s a point?

Not in a cup, no.

No Knight, Johnson or Benkovic in the under 23s team tonight, so they could be playing tomorrow. Or they could be going out on loan...

Söyüncü plays for the under 23s, along with Kapustka and Choudhury, so I don't expect they'll be starting tomorrow.

My guess is that we will have the better 11 players but that Fleetwood will play as a team. My concern is that we will not be "up for it". Nobody joins Leicester because they want to play against5 League One opposition. Fleetwood players will want to impress against a Premier League side.

I enjoy watching wingers so I look forward to seeing Ghezzal.
If Kasper does not play it will be interesting to see whether Ward is chosen ahead of Jakupovic.
Will Mr Puel pick Kalechi knowing that an injury will see us without a proper striker against Liverpool.
I like the midfield that played against Wolves - Ndidi, Mendy and Maddison. There will need to be something special from Silva and Iborra if they are to force their way into the first XI.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Time for Shinji to step up and be the hero.

 

[Skitzo]

Time for Shinji to step up and be the hero.

Very much doubt he’s fit enough to start

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

He was only on for 5 minutes on Saturday. Did not see him get injured.

Yeah his first 5 mins after being injured post World Cup, he won’t start

Ward
Johnson Benkovic Evans Fuchs
Choudhury Iborra
Ghezzal Silva Ndukwu
Okazaki

Crikey we are short of options up top. Uche? Muskwe? Diabate?

 

[Graz]

I think it will be:

Ward
Johnson, Benkovic, Evans, Fuchs
Iborra, Silva
Ghezzal, Okazaki, Albrighton
Diabate
