In the last round the team registered a goalless draw with Chelsea. The coach should take to the field a team with more offensive posture.

Confirmed Lineup: Kasper Schmeichel, Ben Chilwell, Aleksandar Dragović, Harry Maguire, Daniel Amartey, Wilfred Ndidi, Riyad Mahrez, Matthew James, Marc Albrighton, Jamie Vardy, Shinji Okazaki.
Coach: B. Rodgers.
