Has the Leicester FA Cup starting line-up been leaked?

Various accounts on social platforms have been circulating an almost unchanged team for Leicester City, where only Dennis Praet makes way for Ayoze Perez.

The Foxes are desperate to find some good-form as they enter in a crucial part of the season. Back-to-back poor results against West Ham United and Manchester City have somewhat derailed the good vibes at King Power Stadium. Leicester will clash with Southampton in an FA Cup Semi Final at Wembley today, marking a historic day in the books for the team from Leicestershire. Southampton themselves have been struggling: what appeared to be a terrific start to the season faded and became an ordinary season. Both clubs have faced each other 23 times, where both of them have won on nine occasions, making the prediction for this clash a head-scratcher.

Harvey Barnes is still out, but is recovering well from his injury and will soon be back on the pitch for light training according to Brendan Rodgers. The Turkish duo of Cengiz Under and Caglar Soyuncu are available for this clash as both have recovered from their injury and sickness, respectively. While, Ayoze Perez, James Maddison and Hamza Choudhury are also back in the squad for the trip to Wembley; they missed the important clash against West Ham because of the breach in COVID-19 guidelines.

Various accounts on social platforms such as twitter have been circulating an almost unchanged team from that of West ham, where only Ayoze Perez replaces Dennis Praet in the No.10 position. The rumoured team is as follows:

Kasper Schmeichel, Caglar Soyuncu, Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, Ricardo Pereira, Timothy Castagne, Wilfred Ndidi, Youri Tielemans, Ayoze Perez, Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy. If, this is to be believed true, James Maddison is set to be benched for the all important game and Perez’s role, becomes a vital one.

Vardy is struggling to find his shooting boots but we have seen before that, he only needs a moment of brilliance to prove all the haters wrong. It is one of the most crucial games in the tenure of the Foxes Boss, if glory is to be a part of his time at Leicester then this is probably the best time for it.

Predicting such games, where so much is on the line, is never an easy nut to crack. Yet, I think Leicester will win it 3-1; with Vardy scoring twice and Tielemans scoring the third goal.
