Same starting 11 tomorrow?

Must say I didn't expect to see Jones part of the regular starters in defence.

I'd say a change to a midfield 3 of Matic - Herrera - Pogba, with Pogba pushing up during attacking phases.

Jones is only a gurn away from a season ending injury. Shame as there's a talented CB in there.

Maybe. Hard to say - he's almost always injured or off form.

Nice one, earlier than I expected to be honest.

Here's what i'd like to see for the LC

Starting XI

Romero, Tuanzebe, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw, Carrick, Herrera, Pereira, Lingard, Martial, Rashford

Subs

Pereira, Darmian, Carrick, Gomes, Mctominay, Young (assuming he's fit), Lukaku (just in case!)

No way I would play Rashford in the League Cup. We have bigger fish to fry this season, and he's our most important runner.

Mitchell and Gomez should 100% get a game in the early stages. Proper proper talents the two of them

[bstb3]

Martial for Rashford is the only change, otherwise it's the same lineup from Swansea. Makes a lot of sense, hopefully Martial makes a good fist of his chance and when Rashford comes on he bags a couple to make a point

Very poor opening 10 minutes. No fluidity or shape. We need to learn to put our foot on the ball and spend 5 mins getting into our flow of passing.

Poor start. As you say team has no shape

Great stuff since then - looking more fluid and a goal wrongly disallowed. I hope the ABUs are up in arms about that bad decision like they are about decisions that go for us

The ref's putting in a good shift for Leicester so far.

He's certainly been giving them the benefit of the doubt. If we keep it up like this in second half we should win, but Schmeichel looks on his game so it may need to be something special.

If we can get a goal then it will bring Leicester out a bit more, so far they have been so deep and our crossing hasn't been anything like good enough to bypass it.

Would you say that's a continuation of your 16/17 bad luck or something more sinister?

Fairly typical in the Prem - a team that is dominating generally gets few decisions in its favour.

There was your decision.

Why on earth is he taking our penalties?! He's missed 3 out of his last 6. He's bad at penalties. Stupid decision.

Worst foul of the game apparently. Terrible ref.

Even more so against a Schmeichel at Old Trafford.....
