    Benalouane
    Huth
    Fuchs

    Gray
    Silva
    Iborra
    Barnes

    Slimani

    Subs- Jakupovic, Dragovic, King, Mahrez, Albrighton, Vardy, Ulloa

    Yeah Chilwell wont miss any league games

    I think he has really come on this season. Last year he got caught out positionally too often. I think he is now our first choice left back but I like what Puel is doing with rotating him and Fuchs. Fuchs still has alot to offer

    Hopefully we will put out a pretty strong side for the replay.

    Jakupovic
    Amartey
    Benalouane
    Huth
    Fuchs
    Barnes
    Silva
    Iborra
    Gray
    Iheanacho
    Slimani

    Subs: Hamer, Dragovic, Albrighton, King, Choudhury, Vardy, Diabate


    Saying that, I'd love Mahrez, Ndidi, Maguire and Schmeichel to get some game time to get them cup tied ;)

    None of our big players will leave so dont be worried

    And I dont think FA Cup tied would bother other clubs anyway

    Hopefully this kickstarts Iheanacho’s season

    Undoubted talent. Just struggled to settle so far

    ... should also give a shout out to Slimani for the pass that put Nacho in for his first ... Pogbaesque <laugh>

    Nacho’s ball to Slimani when he’s missed kicked it was sublime too. I really hope we keep nacho and he settles in and does well. He should have the confidence of a hat trick from last night, shame about Mahrez’s overhit pass to Gray to take it out of play but he made up for it with the great through ball to Nacho for the actual second

    Know it was only league one opposition but thought Silva was all class. Sometimes gave the ball away but to me this was because he passed into space and team mates were flat footed and didn't read it. Not sure when we get back to the Prem how he and Iborra will play in the same side unless we go back to a back three as think Ndidi is the first name on the sheet for his ball winning ability.

    First time we have actually had quality in depth. Matty James recent performances cant have go unnoticed either

    Ndidi had improved massivley in recent months. Iborra has been brilliant since he came into the side and Silva is a proven quality player who just need a little more time to adjust

    Add to that Andy King and Daniel Amartey and we have alot of depth. Puel has already spoken aswell about Nampalys Mendy still having a future as Puel managed him at Nice

    I wonder whether Puel will like Bartosz Kaputska

    I will be very surprised to see Andy King in a City shirt again.....barring a vast number of injuries.

    Why?

    He can play in a lot of positions and is willing to be a squad player - a valuable asset to have.

    Not sure about " a lot of positions" He is never going to start in front of Iborra, Silva, Ndidi and James. May have a slim chance if we play 3 in the central midfield area.

    Puel likes to rotate the squad alot

    Andy King still has a role here
