Surprisingly, only two Leicester changes: Okazaki out for Ulloa and Drinkwater out for King. Feeling confident but we're not facing a side quite as weak as we hoped. Edited by Bangell (15 Apr 2017 2.16pm)

Hello, Leicester fan here. I'm dissapointed & also surprised Shakespeare has not rested more players. Don't let our strong 11 fool you... Our players will be at 70% both mentally and physically, thinking about Atletico & wanting to conserve energy for that game. Ulloa could be dangerous, as he has a point to prove. However I still believe Palace will win comfortably. Edited by LeicesterFanHere (15 Apr 2017 2.10pm)

Welcome LFH. I agree, you can't manage away human nature. I expect your front line stars (Vardy, Mahrez) will be subbed off early too. Good luck for Tuesday!
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

It makes me nervous that everyone keeps saying we'll win. We always manage to f**k it up when we're favourites. Hopefully Leicester's lineup will shake off any thoughts the players may have had about an easy afternoon. A couple of firm but fair challenges on Vardy and Mahrez early on in the game will hopefully make them disappear from the game with their minds on the Champions League.

Personally cant quite believe he's opted for such a strong team. Would have thought Mahrez and Vardy would be rested, even the other CB (not Huth) and Fuchs. But no, they all start - very interesting selection, maybe Shakespeare feels you're not safe just yet. Edited by SeagullHunter (15 Apr 2017 2.23pm)

I guess he thinks that if they can get points today they can go back up against Athletico without having to worry about maybe getting the drop from the PL.

Maybe Shakespeare thinks they are fit enough to play 3 games in one week. It could be argued we didn't consume a lot of energy in Madrid by keeping a very defensive structure. I'm not really sure, but most Leicester fans would prefer key players rested. Anyway thankyou everyone for the kind wishes in regards to Tuesday. Hopefully we both stay up this season Edited by LeicesterFanHere (15 Apr 2017 2.35pm)

Clearly Shakespeare respects us and has seen the recent performances. If they lose today and Swansea win its all back on. Quite a few teams will be scanning events at Vicarage Road today, ourselves included. COYP !!
