Leicester will have to do well in order to progress in the Carabao Cup tonight, with Liverpool standing in their path.
The Championships leading club this season will meet familiar foes in Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday.
A game which the Foxes won’t be expected to prevail in, but will be a great test of the sides current form as a Premier League return next season looks likely.
Due to this, and to avoid an embarrassing scoreline, Enzo Maresca should without a doubt start a strong team on the trip to Merseyside.
So will the Italian rotate or will he go for it against an impressive Liverpool side which will be without Virgil van Djik.
Here’s how we think Maresca will set his side up…
Leicester predicted XI
In the belief that Maresca will go strong here, we see Mads Hermansen playing in goal as he has been phenomenal in the league.
In defence, James Justin should play right-back with Callum Doyle in his best position at left-back.
Conor Coady and Wout Faes are our picks at centre-half for this game with Coady having the experience to combat Liverpool’s threat.
In midfield, a trio of Hamza Choudhury, Harry Winks and Cesare Casadei more than capable of matching the Reds stride for stride.
Kasey McAteer will continue on the wing with Stephy Mavididi on the other side.
Up-front, Kelechi Iheanacho should get the nod as Maresca gives Vardy a rest.
Leicester predicted XI: Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Coady, Doyle; Choudhury, Winks, Casadei; McAteer, Iheanacho, Mavididi.
