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

[BoVillan esq]

1-1. We have to go for this, you can't be this close to a final and not at least put your best foot forward. Fingers crossed.

Them 2-1 Us

[Clampy]

I think being without the likes of Heaton and McGinn will be too much for us over the two legs but you never know.

Interesting that on none of the five occasions that we have won this competition have we won the first leg of our semi-final.

[TelfordVilla]

caribou second string cup team tonight.....also the only 'fit' 11
Nyland, elmo, taylor, engels, konsa, luiz, hologram, angela, jota, kodja, trez.
god help us all and a Leicester Mancity final.

Usually these days I’m never too sure how most matches are going to turn out but every so often a match arrives where I have absolute certainty of the outcome. Those matches usually involve (obvs) Man City and Liverpool.
Tonight’s match falls in that category. Tbh it has all the makings of a record breaking horror show, hope I’m wrong.

[Nev]

The outcome of this match depends on our approach. Should we select our best 11, and that includes Mings and Grealish, and stick with the formation played at Burnley then we can compete.

Anything less than that will show our intent towards this competition and the outcome is likely to be horrible.

Scenario 1: 2-1
Scenario 2: 3-0

[Brend'Watkins]

Haven't got a clue what's going to happen tonight. I hope we put in some effort so that at the very least we have something to go at in the home leg.

[Axl Rose]

It’s a semi final.   He has to play a full strength side - or what’s the point.

This.

[Drummond]

Interesting that on none of the five occasions that we have won this competition have we won the first leg of our semi-final.

So we're hoping to lose? I like the idea of being positive regardless. I just hope we don't get stuffed and there is something in it for the second leg.

Our lot should be well up for this after the dicking we got.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Good luck Villa boys tonight! UTV!

[LeeB]

Fucking Norwich got a draw there the week after they splattered us, so all is not lost.

[sid1964]

Hopefully play our 1st 11, this is our only chance of winning a competition this season - lets get to Wembley again!

2-0 To them

[SoccerHQ]

3-1 loss.

Mad we're going into a cup semi final with Nyland in goal and Kodj upfront but there you go.

As long as we're still in the tie for the second leg I'd take that but will be uphill task I fear given how they dominated a stronger 11 at VP.

Interested how the 3-4-3 will look against them.

[Bobby Boy]

Play defensively, 11 men behind the ball. Don't give Vardy running room behind us. Hope to get away with a 0-0 or 1 goal defeat.

Can't play the high line of the home league game. Suicide if we do.
