Leicester (a) Carabao Cup QF pre-match thread

[Patrick keegan kid]

Reckon they'll field a weak team tonight... Rest Schmechel and Mahrez on the bench.

Very much in two minds about this one, if I'm honest.
You can't help feeling that playing games at this frequency is running the risk of burn-out for some, although there was precious little sign of it on Saturday. Kev looked anything but burnt out. And I'm aware that when a team is winning game after game, and winning playing brilliant football that looks like fun for them, that simple fact creates its own adrenalin, so that players can go on and on. Winning so much and so well makes good players want more of the same.
In any case, Pep does not like to lose. What we may want as supporters is immaterial. He'll make a few changes, but not wholesale ones tonight. I'd put money on that.

Can’t see why Leicester would play a weakened team.

No Sterling in the squad either....

Ahhh, the deep secrets of bluemoon that I never knew existed!

 

[york away to this!]

Are we playing a weakened side?

Yes. Leicester.

 

[Carlos- the- jackal]

No Sterling in the squad either....

And no Otamendi or De Bruyne.

Yeah no Sterling or Aguero, to be fair I had them both on the bench anyway, Jesus due a game and Sterling needed a rest.

However, with them both not in the squad, it suggests a weaker side, which I hope is still good enough to go through.

Any pub in Leicester people are going to pre-match?

heading to the Counting House in a few.
