Definitely need to rest some players. Maddison for sure, Tielemans I thought looked knackered even by the end of the first half against Spurs, and Vardy is too important to play in a game against Luton that we should win easily - although Vardy is the hardest to leave out given our other striking options!
I'd go for:
Schmeichel
Justin, Morgan, Soyuncu (Benkovic if fit), Fuchs
Choudhury, Praet
Albrighton, Barnes, Gray
Perez
All players that have been involved this season (other than Justin) and will all have important parts to play. It rests important players but still is a strong team.
Could play Ward instead of Kasper, but pretty sure Kasper started the last game so suspect he will again.
I'd also consider Nacho up front and Perez as the 10 and probably Barnes dropping to the bench, but Nacho seems to be well out of the squad now so can't seem him being involved here.

Danny Ward has to play, he hasn't featured at all since the start of the season, not even an U23 game

it's not about resting players it's about getting some match time for others

I thought it was about winning football matches.

How very anti-Puel of you.

Was it Weller (hilarious, Frank Sinclair eat your heart out, o.g) or Weller (Volleyed, Lil Nalis eat your heart out, goal).?

This team is more than good enough to see off a struggling Championship side who probably won't put out their strongest team. All but Thomas are knocking on the door of the match day squad of the team currently third in the EPL, at the very least. If Benkovic isn't fit, I'd give Johnson a chance.
Ward
Justin Morgan Benkovic Fuchs
Mendy Praet
Grey Thomas Albrighton
Iheanacho

We all know the league cup is the lowest of the priorities, a proper reserve league would do the job the league cup is now often used for
It's Keith Weller running forward with the ball and either sliding it to Frank or just putting into the opponents goal himself. Nice.

Do the winners still get a place in Europe?

So treat it like a reserve fixture?

I didn’t say that but it is a good chance to play a hand full who need a game
The game after this is on Sunday afternoon, four and a half days away, so resting players for that is of little concern. Apart from Maddison.
I didn’t like the look of Maddison’s injury. He may well be doubtful for the Newcastle game. He has been pivotal in most of our play. We need to experience playing without him.
Therefore I would play the strongest team possible less Maddison. Hopefully, we will be coasting it and then can bring on some of the fringe players. Like Justin, especially as it his old club.
