OK, I'll take one for the team and start a match day thread.
I'd imagine Ole will be picking this based on the Liverpool game, not too many players going to play in both. Seeing as I think he'll go with the following for Liverpool:
Henderson, AWB, Lindelof, Bailly, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Rashford, Bruno, Pogba, Cavani
then I'll say for this one it'll be:
De Gea
Williams
Tuanzebe
Bailly
Telles
Matic
VDB
Amad
Mata
James
Greeenwood
Honestly, there's enough there to be Leicester, and we owe them for the FA Cup. With Evans out their defense is vulnerable too.
I'll say 2-0, Mata and Greenwood.

I'd go with the strongest possible line up tonight to start the game,3 points all but secures 2nd,everyone can then have a rest on Thursday.

Full rotation please. Other than possibly Henderson and one of the CBs now Maguire is out, no one who starts vs. Liverpool (which should be our strongest XI) should start here. Doesn't matter if we lose; if anything it's fine as it makes Liverpool's top 4 hopes worse and we can still confirm second even if we lose both games this week.

I think that second XI is pretty decent (would probably finish midtable in the league) and might have a decent chance of beating Leicester (especially as they are without Evans). Although obviously a lot of them have barely featured this season so will be very rusty and lacking in match fitness.
Only change I'd make would be bringing in someone from the youth team in place of Bailly. Bailly is injury prone at the best of times and with Maguire out for our remaining Premier League games would be good to keep him fresh as we need him for the Liverpool game.
Part of me hopes we will lose to boost Leicester's top four chances. But a win would probably secure 2nd place and allow us to rest key players in our last two games in preparation for the Europa League final.

This idea that our second string should beat a near full strength Leicester- have you airbrushed the FA Cup from history? They absolutely battered us. We were lucky it was only 3-1.

They've no JEvans though, right? And the other two lads at CB are decent, but he holds them together. I think we'll be a bit better than the cup game. |

Shoretire in for James maybe but agree with the rest. Or off the bench at least

Shoretire started last night for the U23s so he won't play. We might see Elanga though.
