    Quite exciting this, we don’t normally get a lower league draw (Sheffield Utd and Leeds strong championship sides and Millwall when we were as low as we’ve been for ages).

    Hopefully we see some youngsters get a chance whilst being strong enough

    I guess Hamer will play

    Would love to see Knight and Hughes at CB but both yougesters would be too risky I guess. Defence maybe
    Amartey, Knight or Hughes, Chilwell (if recovered)

    Silva and King (maybe Choudhury for King if again, not so risky with the amount of youngsters)

    Thomas Okazaki Barnes

    Slimani or Iheanacho

    I reckon Puel will blood some u23’s but Knight, Hughes, Choudhury, Thomas and Barnes is probably too many

    Hamer

    Amartey Huth Benalouane Chilwell

    Thomas (is he a winger?) James Choudhury Musa

    Ulloa Ihenacho


    Gives an opportunity for some vital minutes for some first team players on the periphery

    I think that if Vardy is fit he will have at least a cameo role ...

    With Barnes being recalled can also see him getting some minutes. Be great for Vardy to get on the pitch for sentimental reasons

    A few injuries have taken its toll on the defence. Wes Morgan and Danny Simpson will miss out. Ben Chilwell should have overcome his illness, Jamie Vardy is expected to be rested after missing Huddersfield due to an injury. So here is what I would go with

    Hamer

    Amartey
    Dragovic
    Benalouane
    Chilwell

    Gray
    Silva
    King
    Barnes

    Iheanacho
    Slimani

    Subs- Jakupovic, Maguire, James, Choudhury, Thomas, Musa

    Is Huth back to fitness?

    Otherwise I would replace Choudhury with Silva and I would have that side.

    Would like Iheanacho and Silva to get some minutes Saturday.

    Huth played for the U23's tonight, presumably fit but not match fit. Some minutes Saturday would be a bonus.

    Puel has said both Adrien Silva and Matty James need minutes so expect them both to start

    Good news on Wes Morgan is his injury isnt as bad as feared but he will still miss a few weeks. Saturday comes too early for Robert Huth

    Relatively happy but would rather have a young defender (Hughes or Knight) instead of Benny

    Absolutely awful match, lucky we held on for a draw. Struggled to stay awake. No creativity, no desire.

    Fleetwood keeper gets a year's supply of free pizza for his clean sheet. That's the most exciting thing to report.

    It’s always hard on those awful pitches though to be fair
