Villa v Leicester pre match and team

I'm expecting this 11 as well; I don't know whether the mole has leaked anything for it, but he probably doesn't need to in this case.

I imagine the bench is pretty predictable as well. Morgan injured so Fuchs in, Praet probably getting the nod ahead of Choudhury, Vardy having the option of 30 minutes or so.

Is there extra time tonight or just penalties?

Only the final has extra time
So straight to penalties,
It's funny after all the hoping to get results and get to a final
At the minute I'm not bothered by tonight 😳

Maybe it's because our form has returned after the Christmas schedule or the back room team have more time to study the opponents
Or the fact its probably man city in the final who if they turn up is probably a step to far??

Minimum requirement tonight
A good performance and lose to penalties
Expecting
A good game which we mostly control
Not allowing grealish 30 yrds pot shots although he has to face ndidi this time
Chilwell to have his defending head on,
Söyüncü to score from a corner
Nacho to score a goal & to be the goal of decade
Vardy on for 20 minutes and get a typical vardy goal
Ps yes I'm highly medicated only just avoided hospitalisation on Monday 🤪😜

That’s probably our best 11 on current form (Chilwell aside).

However I also thought Rodgers might go 3 at the back. I really fear Villa have worked out how to play us so I hope B Rodge has a solid plan to counter Villa’s deep block, faster counter and ability to get Grealish between the lines.

Not saying Ndidi will be critical tonight, but I think he will be critical if we are to progress.

I hope DS throws Samatta straight in, the back 3 also playing much better

CM is where I think Villa will struggle possibly

----------------------- P.Reina ----------------------
----------- Konsa ----- Mings ----- Hause ---------
Guilbert - Douglas Luiz - Drinkwater - Targett
-- El Ghazi ---------- Samatta -------- Grealish --

Is my guess for the Villa XI, or trezeguet for Samatta to start off with

I think Drinkwater might be cup tied

I think you are right, probably Nakamba then or Hourihane

Drinkwater is cup-tied

Nailed it, Joby.

----------------------- P.Reina ----------------------
----------- Konsa ----- Mings ----- Hause ---------
Guilbert - Douglas Luiz - M.Nakamba - Targett
-- El Ghazi ---------- Samatta -------- Grealish --

almost right!

Nakamba in for Cup Tied Drinkwater

my bad Nyland in for Reina
