Leicester (a) Carabao Cup QF pre-match thread

[MCFC1993]

Tuesday 19th Dec, 19.45 KO (GMT).

Good chance to get to a semi-final.

I think our league position means we can go strong in this, maybe rest a few and then maybe rotate some more vs Bournemouth. Try and get our hands on as many trophies as possible.

Bravo (Cup keeper, although i'd prefer Ederson)
Danilo
Otamendi
Mangala
Delph (Maybe Zinchenko)
Fernandinho
Gundogan
De Bruyne (If he isn't feeling the effects of that tackle)
Bernardo
Jesus
Sane

Subs: Ederson, Walker, Zinchenko, Yaya, Foden/Diaz, Sterling, Aguero

Don't know what Merlin's situation is yet.


The most important question will be; do we go for it given our league position is very strong or do we completely rotate and risk going out?

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Could be time to rest a few. Particularly De Bruyne, Sterling and Otamendi could probably do with being looked after.

Not one to sniff at a Cup but this is probably a little lower down when it comes to priorities. Although it was fabulous winning it twice. Always nice getting one over Liverpool and Nasri's and Yaya's goals against Sunderland will live long in the memory.

A much changed side I wonder:

................................Bravo
Danilo............Tosin..........Mangala..........Zinchenko
...................Gundogan...........Yaya
Bernardo..................Foden......................Diaz
............................Jesus

I expect I'll be way off and Pep will go a bit stronger than that.

Time for a sharp exit from this competition.

Lmao.

Not a chance in hell we will go that strong, we will rotate as many as is feasibly possible.

I'd like to see Zinchenko given a start at left back and Foden in midfield. Will be interesting to see if he rests Otamendi or not, he's played a lot of football.

 

[Len Rum]

No way do we want to get through this for a two match nightmare semi in January.

Bravo
Danilo
Adarabioyo
Mangala
Zinchenko
Gundogan
Yaya
Silva (if available)
Sterling
Jesus
Kun

I don't think you will be that far off

Leicester will go strong in this, stronger than the Bournemouth team we'll face next weekend. I don't think he'll rotate as many as people are expecting.

 

[HolisticJim]

I think we should rest a couple but I still want us to go balls deep for the win.
