I mostly agree with your team, but would like to see Shay Facey given a run at right back, with Milner in midfield and Huws on the bench

If all goes to plan I'd start with this and use these subs.

___________________Hart

Zabaleta (Maffeo) - Boyata - Lescott - Kolarov

__Navas (Lopes) - Garcia - Rodwell - Milner

_________Jovetic (Guidetti) - Dzeko

Subs: Pantillimon, Demichellis, Maffeo, Clichy, Yaya, Lopes, Guidetti.

I think we could do with getting a right back on loan in January.

 

[jared]

Is Jovetic fit? We need Jovetic back to our starting lineup. He hardly ever played in meaningful matches for us since joining and with aguero out a month at least we need him as there are many games coming up. No time to ease him back I suspect.

 

[tenententen]

How is Guidetti doing? Can he make it later?

 

[Pigeonho]

Is it just the highlights being shown for this on telly? Our local has it on but presume it's on the foreign channels....

 

[elkmann90]

Is there a chance to see the game on tv tonight ?

Sky sports 1 @11pm.

Is it being replayed at this time I take it?

 

[welsh_andy]

Hart,boyatta,kompany,lescott,kolorov,navas,Rodwell,Milner,silva,jovetic,dzeko and see what pans out up til half time

erm no, i wouldnt dare risk vinny or merlin in such a game. theses no need to risk these players imo. this is time to give rest of squad a run out, have merlin on bench in case though

 

[taconinja]

So there's no way I can find this in the US on television to record I imagine and work just let me know I'm needed for a project while the game is on so no streams for me either.

I would change a lot of players, but not all need a rest (Silva, Kompany, Navas, even Demichelis). It should be a mix of starters and the ones that need a few extra minutes. I hope Jovetic is ready to play and when he does, he shows what he is all about. He is the perfect replacement for Aguerro.
It's good to know that even the most changed team we can think off is able to give it a good go at Leicester,.

If we get to the semis (IF) we are bound to draw a big team. With the semi over two legs January will be another busy month. But I believe our squad it good in depth, good enough to go through these fixtures without burning out. And it might give some extra minutes to the ones who really need it. Maybe even some youngsters who get a few minutes.
