Leicester City v Aston Villa: Carabao Cup semi-final, first leg – live!


We’ve got two very tough games to get to the final, starting tonight. But the boys have been amazing all season in terms of the quality of their football and how they’ve played, and when they have suffered a setback they’ve got up and gone again. Our objective from the beginning of the season was, could we reach the final of this competition? And we’ve got the opportunity to do that.

[On Villa’s formation] You’re just looking at what they may do. It’s unfortunate for Dean, he’s obviously had an injury to the only striker he’s had, but they’ve got players who have played there before who can go into that system they probably want to play, a 5-4-1, and they’ve got the talent to be a really good team and we’ll have to be our best to get a result. It’s the first semi-final of a cup competition for 20 years and as you can imagine everyone’s excited and looking forward to the game. It’s up to us to put in a performance and get the crowd going, and in the main we’ve done that at home. Hopefully we can get a good performance and a victory to take into the second leg.
