Leicester City vs Aston Villa LCSF 1st leg - Jan 8th -8pm

[Toronto Villa]

Huge, huge test. Leicester will likely play a full strength side. No reason for them to rest too many players if any. I don’t know how we will go into this given our numerous injuries, Man City coming up followed by league games we simply need to win. Tough night ahead is my prediction. Please surprise me Villa.

Head says: 3-1 Leicester.

[Richard]

Same team and formation as Burnley (besides Heaton and Wes) and we might get away with a one goal defeat. Unfortunately they seem even stronger away from home.

Surely we wont revert to 433 ?

2-1 them

[Axl Rose]

2-1 us.

[Dave P]

We need to take them back to Villa Park with a competitive score. A 0-0 will do just fine.

I will be there for this I'm hoping for a win to keep us in the second leg fingers crossed we get something at the King Power Stadium.

[Pete3206]

3-0 Leicester.

Over and out.

[frank black]

Everything about this screams a Leicester victory with some ease. But maybe just maybe.

Everything crossed for this game.

[Flin5tone]

Be interesting to see how we line up, premiership is the priority but it's a semi final.

Can we risk Grealish,Mings etc?

A heavy defeat and I hope we protect Grealish and Mings

This will be tough. Leicester are an excellent side, comfortable the third best in the league in my opinion, and it’s unfortunate that we are missing three key players.

Both teams will go full strength. A draw or, as much as I don’t like to say it, even a narrow defeat to take to the second leg wouldn’t be a bad result.

[Risso]

It's going to be extremely difficult to get past Leicester over two legs, and if we do, I wouldn't fancy our chances against Man City at Wembley to be honest.  I therefore think Smith will still rest a few players.
