It’s weird. I would be disappointed if we lose this but I wouldn’t be devastated. Whereas I would be devastated if we lost to them in the league game.

Top 4 is just so much more important to the club than a trophy we’ve won so many times already. Yes, historically speaking a trophy is much more important and we won’t look back in 10 years to reminisce about finishing 3rd/4th, but for the well-being of the club in the short term it’s much more important to play in the CL.

I would hate to lose to Leicester today and then lose out on top 4 to them too. That would be hard to take.

The 2 matches against Leicester will define our season, CL is a bonus but this is an absolute must.

I would be  ok if we lose here and  we win Champions League  if i can choose  one win in these 2 finals .

[Laylabelle 9,348]

Plus we lost this final last year..be a shame to make it 2 in a row

[milka 3,344]

you have to sacrifice something to get something else so if we lost again FA Cup  for CL is ok to me 

would be shame if we lose 2 finals 🙃

I'd be surprised if Kova and Christensen started today. More likely to be on the bench, and then play in midweek.

With that in mind, think it'll be:

Kepa

Azpi, Silva, Rudiger

James, Jorginho, Kante, Chilwell

Mount, Werner, Havertz

Ziyech over havertz id say

[Supermonkey 38]

Their line up has been leaked

Alonso over Chilwell?? 

Apart from the usual Kepa concerns, decent team.

[Superblue 6,370]

Neither Christensen or Kova on the bench, hopefully ready soon as they're needed in the final 3 games.

[Nero 1,838]

Still no Kovacic and Christensen...

[Vesper 28,719]

we all knew (insane IMHO) Kepa was starting

but Alonso over Chilwell?????

sigh

[Superblue 6,370]

Leicester look like they're going 3 at the back, have they played that system much before?

[Vesper 28,719]

[Pizy 18,360]

At least there’s no Maddison in there to take any free kicks they win or to play those killer passes to Vardy.

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Kepa, Alonso are an absolute disaster. basically handing the towel.
