Manager Claude Puel hints at naming strong Leicester City team in EFL Cup

Puel hints at strong Leicester team

Leicester City boss Claude Puel has suggested that a number of first-team regulars will feature against Manchester City in the EFL Cup.

During the club's run through to the last eight, several of the fringe members of the squad have been included in order to gain match fitness.

However, while alterations are expected, Puel has hinted that some of his established players will take part in the clash at the King Power Stadium.

The 56-year-old told reporters: "We have to bear in mind all the games coming up, but it's important to have a competitive team with quality.

"For the future, it will be important to have some rotation, some changes, without losing the quality. Tomorrow we can look forward with a good team, a good balance."

Leicester head into the match having suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace, ending a run of four successive victories.
