    From a competitive standpoint, I don't really have a preference. We've done better against Leicester in recent years, but Man Utd also has a massive fixture backup in April, as they have Europey games then, so some squad rotation will be necessary.

    So I'll go for Leicester because I'd just rather they advance.

    Utd will have played on the Thursday immediately beforehand, in the EL.

    Leicester potentially will have a week's rest, depending on whether their game vs WBA gets rearranged for that midweek.

    (Utd's EL match also means our SF would have to be on the Sunday, if that's at all relevant. With Leicester, it could be either day.)

    Ziyech had himself an okay cameo today, too...

    My view also. It would be utterly amazing if we made Europe next season.

    I think the final anything can happen, and I’m not certain, but I’d imagine even losing the final we would be taking that spot.

    Yes, come on Leicester. Ghoulish commentator's will exhume it.. but we know that particular ghost was exorcised rather promptly last season.

    Tielemans and Fofana.

    Pogba, Telles and Lindelof

    Are the players who are a yellow away from missing the SF.

    You lot going on about who we'd rather play. Haven't you heard I'm winning us the cup?
