Well all this Man city Drama may be good for us in our next game

You would assume that if we get through we’re guaranteed European football of some description next season

We have to win it to guarantee qualification.

Not in the league cup. You have to win it to qualify

What's the rest of the draw, please?

I reckon liverpool had all behind the goal 5k +

[lestajigs]

Liverpool got 4500, away tickets 

[foxfanazer]

That's brilliant 

[Desabafar]

surely 15% is more than 4500?

[ceredigion]

Brendan has a 61% win record since taking over. Let that sink in.

 

[bovril]

This is what we wanted, challenging for trophies and European football. It'll be a great atmosphere at the KP and Villa Park.

You don't have to give 15% in the league cup just the fa cup.

Brilliant draw! Hopefully they lose their 6 pointers over christmas so need to rest players for the league. We need a couple in for early january though as the games in jan and feb will come thick and fast

It's not 15% now mate. Rules were changed.

Good draw, I don’t know how long we can keep putting out as many first team players as we are doing twice a week though......crazy amount of games coming our way over the next 3 weeks.

If we're serious about being a successful club these are things we have to consider about the squad. We need serious depth going forward if we have European football next season- we didn't cope too well last time.

 

At least we have a manager experienced in all this, however.

I think it was a couple seasons back they gave Peterborough 6,000 tickets at Villa Park, it depends on who there playing. 

[lcfcdotell]

Lots of games coming up now then. Wonder if a few academy lads will get a chance v Wigan if he rotates little.

[StriderHiryu]

Great draw, especially given we played them off the park just a short while ago.

 

I'd never take a semi-final for granted but over two legs and the way we play, you'd have to fancy us to get through. COYB!

[LCCFox96]

Best draw we could have hoped for. Delighted to have avoided both Manchester clubs in a two-legged semi-final contest. Happy to be able to crack on with this tie under the radar whilst the media froth over the Manchester derby. Come on Leicester!

They've changed the rules so much lately, it used to be away goals before extra time. 

 

Is this still the case? Or have they scrapped away goals and extra time? Would it go straight to penalties again?
