Will Deano risk Martin O’Neill status by resting key players.

I don’t think so, shame this game has arrived at just the wrong time.

Yeah, the last twenty years.

[Bad English]

2-2 swashbuckling draw. Oops! I meant, 3-1 to the crisp munchers.

[Hookeysmith]

I would do the reverse

Play as full a strength team as poss for cup and then a weakened one for Man City as lets face it - city is not a winnable game

[Villa Lew]

I understand Vardy is fit for the match going 2 nil Leicester

Imagine the kerfuffle.
 He absolutely 100% has to go full strength for Man City and will.

[JJ-AV]

I'd take a 1 goal defeat now, get them back to Villa Park with us still in the tie.

3-4-3 again.

[mallo]

Much as I'd love us to get into a final, I'd love us to stay up more. We can't risk Mings in my opinion. A loss and we move on.

[frank black]

The main players will be benched and used if deemed likely they can change things. (Grealish, Mings, Nyland)

[RamboandBruno]

Nyland

Hause
Mings
Konsa

Taylor
Nkamaba
Luiz
Guilbert

Grealish
Trezuguet

Kodjia

This would be my team and formation other than I’d play Targett instead of Taylor if he’s fit and Davies instead of Kodja for at least 60 mins if he’s fit.

Our second string aren’t good enough to play Fulham never mind Leicester, would be huge mistake imo not to play strongest side and give this a go, if we lose we lose, but play a weakened team is effectively waving a white flag and possibility of another humiliating defeat against this lot and what for to save legs for Man City at home??

Head says we’ll lose, just hope we’re still in it for second leg.

[Chipsticks]

I would go 3-4-3 again, though swapping Engels for Mings and Jota/El Ghazi for Grealish. You could maybe swap Hourihane for Luiz as well.

I'd actually play Nyland as I think experience is more important than rest at this point.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I would do the reverse

Tell that to Norwich City.

[CT]

Second consecutive game against fans with clappers.

2-1 them.

[frank black]

Second consecutive game against fans with clappers.

2-1 them.

And pre match light show too.

I was chatting to a Leicester supporting colleague and his take on this match is whoever wants to win a day out at Wembley getting dicked by Man City.
