This is not going to be pretty at all. 

We've got 14 players out. 2 through covid. The rest injured. Probably a 7 or 8-0...

The side you put out in the League Cup the other night was pretty strong. How many have you lost since then?

Soyuncu and Evans probably the main ones. Pereira out for a while from that tackle. 

Vardy may have picked up a knock. It's likely Bertrand and/or Vestergaard will play and that's pretty much a guaranteed loss as a result. 

It's just going to be a disjointed weak squad really.

@LFCMike this is our expected line up

 

Schmeichel

Albrighton, Amartey, Vestergaard, Thomas

Soumare, KDH, Maddison

Lookman, Iheanacho, Perez

 

Bear in mind we'll have to play again 48 hrs later with many of the same players and only a few options to rotate - Castagne, Youri, Daka perhaps saved for that Tuesday game against a full strength and well-rested Liverpool :o

I heard this about Vardy being injured so couldn't take a penalty. Why didn't Rodgers sub him? You only used four subs in that game.

I think we'd used our 3 windows to make a sub, so couldn't sub again.

Disgrace that Leicester are having to play this. Fully expect City to improve on our goal difference. 

It's only injuries though. Not covid related so not even expecting it to be called off. It'd set a bad precedent if it got called off for just 2 covid cases compared to what other teams have had to contend with and carry on. 

As a side note, our injuries record is just beyond a piss take now. Can't remember the last time we didn't have any injury concerns and could choose from our best 14/15 players.

We're going to get absolutely bummed here I fear. That XI is absolutely horrendous.

We're 16/1 to win today. I don't think we've ever been as big as that to win a game.

What can ya do.

The stupidity was in the subs, we should've won that Liverpool game, we used our 'strong' side on that and didn't cash in.

Rodgers has a bit of clout yet doesn't use it to our advantage. Kavanagh is a cheat who shouldn't ever be reffing us but we never flag it up.

That was some effort from Maddison.

xD the fuck is this Leicester lineup?

Seems like it was fucking stupid to play a full strength side against us in the league cup. 

Are you seriously asking this? 

League Cup is our only realistic option of getting Europe. Of course we go strong? It's that or win the Conference League which we'll have a go at too. 

How is it 'fucking stupid'? 

Full strength means we have players available and not out through covid or injuries. Did we have that? Nope. Therefore not full strength.

We should have won but hearing Daka came off through injury adds to having to take Soyuncu and Pereira off. There's probably only so much any manager can do.

Doing well in the league is always a more sustainable way of showing progress than putting all your hopes into a cup. Especially if the specialist in bottling is gonna put his side out and then bottle it against our fringe players and kids.

Now with the injuries you’re less likely to be able to contend in the league.

Gambling on the league cup seems like a terrible idea to me.
