Leicester v City (League Cup) Pre match Discussion thread

[CTID_92]

I thought Jovetic was fully fit? Rodwell would definitely start IMO. Fernandinho needs a rest. And Pellegrini was willing to play Lopes so he should start as well. Also no reason to not start jovetic if he's fit.

It depends how Pellegrini looks at this match; low importance or a chance to continue a confidence boosting win-streak . Will he use it to give some of the players you mentioned, some playing time before the start of a busy fixture pile up?. Either way we have to be careful with team choice, no point risking some players just to give them game time, i'd rather they get to 100% so we have them over the christmas period, than rush them back early and see them injured again (like Jovetic at Newcastle last round), that being said we do have to be careful not to lose any of the players we're more reliant on to get injured. Would be nice to see a few faces get a chance to stake their claim, but I still want to see us go for the win, as with any competition we're in.

Pellers wants to go all the way in this competition, I reckon a similar team we played at Newcastle with a strong bench to call on if needed.

Any chance this will be on TV?

Not on sky, but its being telecast in a lot of countries: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.livesoccertv.com/match/1012072/leicester-city-vs-manchester-city/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.livesoccertv.com/match/10120 ... ster-city/</a> so streams should be available.

I'd love to see this starting XI although seems unlikely.

Thanks! I wasn't optimistic, hope someone comes through with a stream.

Yup, India does have a live telecast on Ten Sports. Its funny how England doesn't live telecast some of the City games, while some countries (specially India) telecast every City game regardless of the competition.

Javi Garcia is one caution away from a suspension.

yep tell him to make sure he gets booked tomorrow, better he's suspended for the Fulham game than when they start coming thick and fast afterwards.
