.............................Hart....................

Zaba..............Kompany............Lescott..................Kolarov

........................Fern...............Garcia.........................

Navas........................Jovetic...........................Milner
................................Dzeko................................

Think Fern needs a rest hard match yesterday and full match against Bayern. I would go Roswellor Milner in midfield maybe give Vinnie and Zab a break, I think Dedryck may feature.

Does he wear the (Area) 51 shirt?

There's also a chance to win a pair of corporate tickets in aid of raising money for a poorly kid to try and find a treatment/cure for his condition.

All proceeds go to finding a cure for a Leicester fans sons illness. He's biking to every away game I believe

with them being in the second tier and a semi-final 90 minutes away they'll be well up for this and it'll be a hostile ground. I don't think we could put out an EDS-type squad and come away with a win. Hopefully Jovetic is available to play a part.

Hart, Zabaleta, Boyata, Lescott, Kolarov, Rodwell, Milner, Garcia, Jovetic, Dzeko, Lopes or Navas

very worrying we never have 2 right backs to count on

Please, Lopes & Guidetii !!

Is Lopes injured?

Lopes and Guidetti both played for the EDS today.

Replaced on 45 and 70mins respectively.No reported injuries.

Hi guys,

Leicester fan here.

We're not expecting too much on Tuesday night. It's a pretty tough week for us, we're on a bit of a bad run and have played Burnley on Saturday and QPR next Saturday in a promotion 6-pointer. It's likely that we could well rest/rotate some of our players for this - all depends as to how Pearson looks at it but it seems that Saturday's game at QPR will be of higher importance.

In terms of standard, I wouldn't say we're too bad (perhaps we'd be 15th/16th in the Prem), our home form is very good, and I see that you've had a few dodgy away results (not at Bayern though!)

Was just wondering what to expect in terms of the team that you're likely to put out. It seems that Kompany is key to you being defensively sound too - is he likely to be rested?

All the best guys and if you have any queries, or any of you travelling up to Leicester and have any questions then feel free to ask. Also, feel free to pop on to our main forum ( <a class="postlink" href="http://www.foxestalk.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.foxestalk.co.uk</a> ) :)

We all hate United!

Cheers FoxArmy
Thanks for the info. You forgot to mention the Balti pies are pretty good at your gaffe!
Always thought of Leicester as a proper club with proper fans.
I don't think any of us are expecting a walkover at the Kingpower on Tuesday night. Cup games will always have an element of unpredictability but hopefully MP will make sure there is no complacency on our part.
I would be very surprised if big Nigel didn't put out a strong 11 as the last thing he will want is a battering in front of his own fans.
I think this one will be a lot tighter than a lot of people think.
Looking forward to a good game and a (hopefully successful) visit to your ground.

Is Lopes injured?

Nope

 

[Burtonblue]

Please, Lopes & Guidetii !!

Happy to see these on the bench but not in starting 11.
This is a real opportunity for silver wear and much as I would encourage young talent I would prefer we made the game safe before bringing them on.
It's not exactly as if we lack other more experienced players...

Zaba needs some rest

Any chance to play Kolarov on the right and Clichy on the left?
