Kilkenny at Fleetwood and Marcondes at Hibs I thought?You're forgetting Kilkenny and Marcondes to name but two.

Difference is, we were playing one of the best sides in the world.Leicester created (and missed) more chances on Friday than we did yesterday. Could be a very entertaining 0-0! Hopefully not, don't fancy a late night midweek.
It's on BBC iPlayer I think so if you have a VPN it won't be difficult to watch.Yes, on SportsNet here, unfortunately one of their premium services as the base service has Luton-Man City. But, as pointed out by Kenya, when it's broadcast this widely, you can usually find a reliable stream.
If all these happen, I’ll buy you a beer John. If they don’t, it’s all your fault!A win tomorrow, a draw against the winner of today's match, and Man City gets Liverpool next round.
I don’t blame them given a tricky run of games. However, is this a bluff or just trying to get AI to rest some of his stars?There is potential for Enzo Maresca to hand out more Leicester City debuts when he takes his team to Bournemouth for the FA Cup fifth round.
Maresca has said he could change all 11 players on the south coast, and if he is to do so, he may have to call on some of the club’s development squad. He’s not afraid to hand out debuts, with Jakub Stolarczyk, Ben Nelson, Tawanda Maswanhise, Arjan Raikhy, and Brandon Cover all handed their first appearances for the club by the Italian.
Among the development squad talents spotted in City training ahead of the trip to the Vitality Stadium were Raikhy, forward Silko Thomas, a trio of midfielders in Henry Cartwright, Oli Ewing, and Logan Briggs, as well as winger Wanya Marcal. He is probably the most likely to get a start, having had more senior experience and with Kasey McAteer doubtful.

Just watched his presser. Doesn't sound like a bluff.I don’t blame them given a tricky run of games. However, is this a bluff or just trying to get AI to rest some of his stars?

I think we should start with our strongest side- possibly bar one or two, and maybe sub early if the game’s under control. Really hope he doesn’t do an Eddie and let Leicester mug us. Hopefully he’s learned from Swansea and QPR. I don’t want another Burton, Wigan or bloody Boreham Wood- that’d do more harm than good in the prep for Burnley.The Coppa d’Italia is not a prestige trophy. So it wouldn’t surprise me if an Italian manager played a bunch of kids so as to focus on the league, especially off the back of two successive defeats.
Interesting call. Do we play a really strong team to try and blow them away by half time or do we trust our fringe players to be good enough? Not something I’d be happy deciding.
I'm reliably informed by someone who was at the Hilton when Leicester arrived last night that 10 of the regular squad never travelled and they had been replaced by Academy lads.I don’t blame them given a tricky run of games.

How would he know that, is he familiar with their squad lolI'm reliably informed by someone who was at the Hilton when Leicester arrived last night that 10 of the regular squad never travelled and they had been replaced by Academy lads.
Autograph collector. Knows more than you do! The proof will be the team sheet tonight!How would he know that, is he familiar with their squad lol
maybe try some imodiumI have a stomach churning that Leicester will be too strong for us on the night. We will be rotating (of which is wise). However, a lot our our fringe players have not had a lot of minutes and may well be puffing like a steam engine before half time. Look what happened against Swansea. We went 0-2 down. Leicester are a PL team temporarily playing in the Championship. They will certainly not be push overs.
Whilst I'd be cautious of LCFC manager statements and predictions about making wholesale changes (sounds a bit like playing down your hand to me), you know as well as I do that BOTH teams will rotate to some extent. Both teams will want to look at some fringe players, for better or worse.I have a stomach churning that Leicester will be too strong for us on the night. We will be rotating (of which is wise).

A very sound piece of advice. However, that will not aid the fact that Leicester will be too strong.maybe try some imodium
TBH, even reading their team sheet, I wouldn't be able to tell if they've rested players or are playing academy players...Autograph collector. Knows more than you do! The proof will be the team sheet tonight!
