Ortega
Akanji
Gomez
Stones
Aki
Gundogen
Foden
Grealish
Palmer
Mahrez
Alvarez

If either Foden or Grealish don’t play centre mid tonight they never will

Akanji is injured and Purple Aki can’t play for us due to his curfew restrictions.

What’s the crack with him , didn’t know that at least Lewis might get a chance then

Limped off at the weekend and wasn’t in training yesterday. Doubt it’s serious, just not risk ining him.

Unless you meant Purple Aki, who has a penchant for touching other peoples’ muscles.

Hope Navas receives a good reception tonight. Proper 100% pro for us.

And Isco too....feels like we owe him a testimonial he's been linked with us for that long :-)

Isco is suspended for the weekend so will probably play tonight.

We'll finally get to see Silva, Navas and Isco all on the same pitch at Eastlands!

Akanji's not involved after limping off on Saturday.

Who’s going to solve the problems at the back?

Sevilla squad travelling, which is the full strength squad (i believe). Fan forums calling for reserves to be played, due to the weekend's derby, but Isco is suspended for the weekend so will probably play tonight.

not a lot of news on who might or might not feature for them, but repeat mentions of the weekend and inability to be 2nd or 4th would suggest half strength.

Barring the unpredictable nature of much changed teams, this looks like it might fizzle out.

Marca's predicted line-ups (note they have Akanji, but more the Sevilla side which looks too strong imo);



AS predicted;



both half strength.

Like to see a strong starting line up only to be able to play the youngsters later on and the ones who need the minutes fullfill the 90 min.
